You'd send a GET request to the page, it would return - often - an XML record set, or you can return text, and indeed you can even query page status codes from the client side.
The point is, you no longer need to unload the current page to get information form the server.

the closest you could come is to make javascript functions call php pages basically redirects that would call the php functions.
