Where do you put your AJAX stuff?

[eluser]eoinmcg[/eluser]
the way i usually do it is extend the controller class (MY_Controller) to have a method to check if the call was AJAX based.

e.g.

Code:

function _is_ajax()
    {
        return (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest'));
    }

and then in the relevant controller/method i can take appropriate action
e.g.

Code:

function sample_method()
    {
        if($this->_is_ajax())
        {
            // do you ajax thing here    
        }
        else
        {
            // not an ajax call, reload the page or whatever is needed
        }
    }
