AJAX or Direct Link

Question

What is the best way to handle Ajax vs. Full page requests with PHP ?

I mean if I click a button that calls Ajax function and loads necessary info into a div and changes the URL.

How do I make that link work if the user copy it and use later to reach the same page.

You look for the hash in the URL and do the necessary stuff. Your best bet is to get a JavaScript MVC framework that handles it for you. — Gerben Jacobs, Mar 19 '14 at 09:56

In some of the apps I separate it with a hash. Something like a router and my code goes something like this:

var preRoute = document.URL.split('#');
if(preRoute[1] != undefined) {
  //ajax call
} else {
  //default page
}

You could check the headers. jQuery for example will add the following key/value to the header: X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest for ajax calls. See also this question

Using: jquery pjax - https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax

you can detect on server side if you get X-PJAX request header

And a great feature of this plugin is the history manipulation and ease of use.
