Well, to call a php script, you basically have to request a new file. If you just need to submit information, you can preload a new 'image' with parameters. If you need to get information back, you pretty much have to devote a frame to it somewhere - either a visible frame, where the script actually returns an updated page, or an invisible frame (ie one pixel high with a 10-pixel top margin) in the same window, or a new minimized window.
