    I just found this interesting AJAX framework while doing my daily surfing. One thing that caught my eye is that they have a tool to send debug information from PHP straight to Firebug. Like they say: "no more var_dump!", that sounds good to me! laugh

    I have yet to try it, but for those interested, here’s a summary taken from their page:
    This is a basic state of mind system rather than a framework. I offer you 3 files and a design pattern that allows you to focus on making things happen rather than setting things up. This is designed for PHP4 and PHP5

    Some features:

    * Easy Forms - one function call will take all your form values and create a pretty little query string for you ajaxObj.getForm(’formid’);
    * JSON Client Side Encoding - Now you can send and receive JSON encoded data from client or server!
    * Network Down Protection - MyBic can help to detect when the server is down and will disable itself from making more calls
    * Submission Queue built-in - All of your AJAX requests will be sent in the correct order, all requests are stored in the queue to prevent overwriting
    * Debugging Aid - just set ajaxObj.debug=1; and you will get a little popup that gives you info on your current request/responses
    * Firebug Integration - Use the MyBic firefox extension to send debug data from your php scripts to firebug! No mess, no fuss!

    I have yet to see how it works with other frameworks like Mootools.
