Ajax call in php?

Question

I was wondering can you do this call in PHP (with curl of someting?)

jQuery.ajax({
    url: this.config.url,
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: "jsonp",
    jsonp: 'callback',
    //          jsonpCallback : 'jsonp_return',
    data: {
        f:'some_function'
    }
});

Thanks in advance!

If you want to make an HTTP call from PHP to a URL you can do it without using curl:

$result = file_get_contents('http://your-url');

If you need to pass some parameters to the URL you can use streams:

$data = http_build_query( ['data' => 1] );

$options =
[
    'http' =>
    [
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'header'  => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => $data
    ]
];

$context  = stream_context_create($opts);

$result = file_get_contents('http://your-url', false, $context);

In regard to JSONP: it's used to overcome the JSON 'same origin policy' for ajax requests. As from PHP you have not this limitation and you can call any URL, you don't need the JSONP 'trick': you can simply collect the data and process it

But I need to call a function in the via the data object, its a call to a PHP OOP framework. – Ruben de Man Dec 22 '15 at 15:12
@RubendeMan i don't understand: you want to call a function of a framework on another server? – Moppo Dec 22 '15 at 15:23

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://you.json.url/json.php'));
var_dump($data);

See http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php for details
