Here is the issue

PS: I don't have code to post because I really don't know how to implement this.

1. UserA loads a webpage from ServerA. In it it has a javascript function
which "on web page loading" calls a remote function on another web server, ServerB. This remote function is written in PHP and accesses a MySQL database, the results of the DB query is an array.
2. This array gets returned by the remote server to the javascript function that made the initial call. The array then gets processed by the javascript function.

Now I know that Javascript is client side and PHP is server side. I also discovered that to make this happen I will need to use some sort of RPC functionality. Some sites/ideas that I have found on the net are............

1. XML-RPC www.ashleyIT.com using JSRS
2. and possibly SOAP.

I have spent the last few days trying to get ashleyIT's XML-RPC implementation to work but the documentation is scarce, the site and forum look like they aren't being used anymore, and I am starting to wonder if there is not a more popular/modern implementation that I should be considering.

Question

So now the question. Does anyone know what implementation of RPC I could use? I am researching SOAP but so far I have not found a SOAP implementation using Javascript calling PHP functions. Is there anything else that I might be able to use other than XML-RPC and SOAP?


Thanks for your time.
