[jQuery] Re: cross domain getJSON nothing happens

I'm a .NET guy and don't know the syntax for PHP, but maybe I could
put it in plain terms

- variable "CallBackName" = value of "callback" (which jQuery will
replace "?" with "jsonpNNNNNNN" where NNNNNN is a timestamp just to be
random

- variable MyResults is an object that is expressed in a JSON string
(i know that it's easy to write/convert-to JSON in php but I don't
know the specifics)

- If there is a CallBackName value, then write out
CallBackName( my JSON result )
otherwise, just write out
my JSON result

So in html if i had

$.getJSON("local_call.php", ......)

i'd return from the server

{ foo: "1", bar: "2"}

but if i had

$.getJSON("http://remoteserver/local_call.php?callback=?", ......)

jQuery would replace "?" with something like "jsonp2345654345", so my
code would return

jsonp2345654345( { foo: "1", bar: "2"} )

the example on the jQuery docs under .getJSON (using Flickr) is a
great thing to read.... and the article @ IBM that is inside my
previous link is an excellent overview as well..... once you
understand how it works, that makes it easy :-)
