I'm not currently using a server-side php ajax framework.  I do the 
following check on incoming requests:
isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && $_SERVER 
['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']  == 'XMLHttpRequest'
Prototype and jQuery ajax calls (and maybe other frameworks) set that 
header to their requests, so can do the above check and use a different 
template or execute different code or whatever.  That way can support 
requests for ajax and regular page requests with the same url and 
without changing much server side code.
