NYCPHP Meetup

I am wondering what you guys are doing to detect whether your PHP
script is being called via AJAX or --- "regular?" (Do we have a
retronym for that in this brave new Web 2.0 world?).

I know Prototype sends a custom headers, e.g.

        [X-Prototype-Version] => 1.5.0
        [X-Requested-With] => XMLHttpRequest

so looking for those is obviously one way.

I found a discussion somewhere where someone simply suggested adding
something like isAjax=1 as a GET parameter in your Ajax call's URL.
Seems to work.

Thanks.
