I have a website where people can place bids on products. So the first thing I have done is created a normal HTML-PHP version of the website which works great.I have created some basic PHP functions that look at the url -> route you to the controller -> perform the action -> take the POST object etc.Now I have implemented an AJAX version for this action but I want to know if I am doing the correct thing. I made a new folder called ajax, and there I made a new controller for the ajax request. Now when somebody clicks on 'bid' then the request is hijacked by Javascript and sent to the AJAX controller. Now in the AJAX controller I strip down the link and then load the controller and model, and the work is done by the class.Now the response the class has to send back is different for the AJAX version and for the HTML version. Now in the code of the class I have something like this\[code\]if(ajax version){ give ajax response}else{ give html response}\[/code\]Now there are more things in the classes that are different.Now my question is is it ok to use the same classes and config files for the ajax and non ajax function, or do they have to be seperate.Or is there a more elegant manner of tackling this problem, maybe using interfaces.
