Sortable lists demo with php?

[bugf!X]

hello!

i´m new to this "script.aculo.us" stuff and have one question:

does this sortable list demo:
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/sortable_elements

especially the ajax callback only work when ruby is installed on the
server?
is there any chance to get the sorted list back with normal ajax and
php?

or am i understanding something totally wrong here? ;)

thank you very much!

Absolutely not. The source code illustrated uses Rails for brevity, but
all of Spinoffs are entirely server-agnostic. AAMOF, I think 75+% of
the users on this list do *not* use Ruby or Rails on the server side.

thank you!
i just got it...
you simply have to do a print_r($_POST["list"]); in the called script
to get back the list :)
