I need to call a couple small PHP functions that should execute after the user makes changes in the DOM. I know this can be done by capturing the change in jquery, then pointing an ajax call to a separate script with the function inside it; but having a few of these small functions I would rather not make a file for each, if possible. As such, is there a way to include the PHP code directly within the ajax call and not go to a separate url?

EDIT 1

Assuming a post request is being made, something like the following is what I'd like to do:

$("select").change(function() {
    $.post("<?php ... ?>", {option: $(this).val()}, function(return) {
        //do stuff with results
    }
});

</div>

With ajax you can call a php file on the server but not on client side. If you want to run php code directly on client side, you'd need to install php on each client which, I really don't recommend.
