Intel XDK getRemoteData Method and PHP

I'm working on an app with Intel XDK (love it so far) and I want to use PHP/MySQL for the back end. My problem is that AJAX calls won't work because cross domain AJAX calls are blocked. As an alternative I can use the getRemoteData Method included in Intel XDK, however, can I also use this for PHP scripts?

I'm asking this because with a regular website and JQuery AJAX, I do something like this:

$("#sign_up_form").submit( function() {
    $.post( $("#sign_up_form").attr("action"),
    $("#sign_up_form :input").serializeArray(),
    function(info) {
        if(info != "You've signed up! Please confirm your email address to use Scrapll.") {
            $("#warning").html(info).fadeIn(200).delay(3000).fadeOut(200);
        }
        else {
            $("#cover").fadeIn(200);
            $("#sign_up_field").fadeOut(200);
            $("#account_control").fadeOut(200);
            $("#success").html(info).fadeIn(200);
        }
    });
    return false;
});

This is a snippet from a previous project. What should I do to use something similar to this in my app and fix this cross domain issue with AJAX calls? Do I have to use JSON for his? Because I was planning to just output HTML, not JSON or anything.

Cross domain calls will work, but you have to enable that. If you are using the "legacy" builds you enable that by including a reference to xhr.js in your index.html file, after the intelxdk.js reference. If you are building for Cordova (the default for the 1199 version of XDK) you set that by specifying a specific domain or using * in the "Domain Access" field in the "Build Settings" section of the Projects tab.

See this article, written by one of my colleagues, for additional information: https://software.intel.com/en-us/html5/articles/how-to-access-JSON-data-in-HTML5-apps
