Return information(after server side-php processing) to the javascript client
<p>Here's the Question in its simplest of forms,</p>

<p>Steps:</p>

<p>1)When a User comes to my html page,he types a url (abc.html).</p>

<p>2)I want to get some processing done from the php server(using the URL,say abc.php has to get executed) without navigating away from the page in which the user is in,i.e.without navigating away from abc.html (based on suggestions from one of the answers,will be using iframes and src=abc.php)</p>

<p>3)The php script(present in abc.php) should return some data to abc.html</p>

<p>want to achieve this without using JSON/AJAX,can this be achievable at all?(If so,HOW--tutorials or any directions wud HELP A LOt!!)</p>

<p>Since i'm very new to this,i would like to know how to get the file abc.php to be processed by the server.As in where do you place the file for the abc.html to contact the server(abc.php) perform the required processing and return the result which has to be displayed in the same page(abc.html).</p>

<p>I've been searching everywhere with no successful results.Any kind of directions would help.</p>
