This feature would so big and separate from the current PHP implementation that it would be its own project. Of course, you are welcome to start such a project.

That advantage will continue through the foreseeable future. Providing a browser-resident php terp would allow people to exploit their php experience to create client-side javascript-type functionality without actually having to struggle with all the javascript craziness. (Just a data point from personal experience: I've been programming since 1975, in everything from 8-bit Basic to CDC CP & PP assembly languages. After a month of struggle, I gave up on trying to add javascript functionality to my php apps. The evidence suggests that the language was designed by a kitten with a ball of yarn.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51717&edit=1
