How can I integrate PHP with Sencha Touch 2.x?

[Colorado143]

Hello,
I'm a total newbie to Sencha, but I have php mobile site that I'd like to merge with Sench Touch. I've been using php for initiating cookies and grabbing data from a database using mysql... I have a good understanding of javascript but I don't know a lot about JSON or Ajax. Is there good tutorial somewhere where I can figure out how to integrate Sencha Touch and a php mobile site together? I've already generated my first app following the "Getting Started with Sencha Touch 2" guide, so I have a good idea of how it all works... I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you for your time.

Sorry, I just realized that I posted this message in the wrong discussion area... if anybody can show me how or move this message to the "Sencha Touch 2.x: Q&A". That would be great... again, sorry for the hassel.

For a ST2 app, PHP is basically just a backend for Ajax calls where you can return JSON. This is easily done by doing a json_encode(array) on an array/object.
