There is a method that I have discovered. Please read my explanation completely to continue. In your ajax code (I think you use jQuery), include another info 'perform', with value = php function name.

$.post("something.php", {
  something1: something1value,
  something2: something2value,
  perform: "php_function_name"
});

Then, in your PHP file, add this piece of code at the beginning :

Then, when you call using ajax, you can get a particular function executed. Example Usage :
Javascript :

$.post("example.php", {
  name: "anonymous",
  email: "x@gmail.com",
  perform: "register"
}, function(data, status) {
  alert(data);
});

PHP file example.php:

When you do this, automatically, function register() will get executed.
