AjaxOptions alternative in CodeIgniter/PHP
===

I'd like to ask regarding AJAX in PHP. I'm currently using the CodeIgniter framework and I wish to use something similar to ASP.NET MVC's AjaxOptions to make AJAX requests in PHP.

I am aware that I can make AJAX requests using jQuery in PHP, but I was wondering if PHP offers a shortcut solution/helper similar to ASP.NET MVC.

Many thanks!
