How can Ajax be integrated into PHP MVC architecture effectively?

To integrate Ajax into PHP MVC architecture effectively, you can create separate controller methods for handling Ajax requests and returning JSON responses. These methods can interact with the model to fetch or update data and then return the data in JSON format. In the view, you can use JavaScript to make Ajax requests to these controller methods and update the UI dynamically based on the JSON responses. 

// Controller method for handling Ajax requests
public function ajaxRequest()
{
    // Check if it's an Ajax request
    if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
        
        // Process the request and return JSON response
        $data = $this->model->getData();
        echo json_encode($data);
    } else {
        // Handle non-Ajax requests
        // Redirect or show an error message
    }
}
