How can server-side and client-side scripting languages interact when including PHP files?

When including PHP files in a webpage, server-side and client-side scripting languages can interact by using AJAX to make requests to the server and retrieve data dynamically. This allows for seamless communication between the server-side PHP code and the client-side JavaScript code. By using AJAX, you can update parts of the webpage without having to reload the entire page. 

// PHP code to include in your webpage
<?php
// Include the PHP file containing server-side logic
include 'server-side-script.php';
?>

// JavaScript code to make an AJAX request to interact with the server-side PHP code
<script>
// Make an AJAX request to retrieve data from the server-side script
$.ajax({
  url: 'server-side-script.php',
  method: 'GET',
  success: function(response) {
    // Handle the response from the server-side script
    console.log(response);
  },
  error: function(xhr, status, error) {
    // Handle any errors that occur during the AJAX request
    console.error(error);
  }
});
</script>
