    php code processed on the server-side, but ajax is a client-side technology. So, to update a view via ajax requests you should use script which actually calls that requests. Also you definitely should provide some code for such questions. – Beloo Oct 07 '16 at 13:29

By the time an AJAX call has returned a response to the browser, the PHP code has finished executing, so you will not be able to run any more PHP after this except by making another AJAX request.

If the html that makes up the list that you want to refresh is produced by a PHP view then you have two options.

1) Run the PHP code before your AJAX response is returned. That way your ajax response could be something like:

{"a":value,"b":value,"c":array,"d":"<ul>... updated list html code</ul>"}

You can then use JavaScript to replace the old HTML with your refreshed view stored in d.

2) You could store the value of c in a JavaScript variable where it can be re-used in a future AJAX request which will return the view HTML.

Hope this helps.
