Req #76064 [NEW]: Give me client-side php

From: rob_neal at rocketmail dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 7.2.3 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Give me client-side php Description: ------------ JavaScript is great, flexible, powerful, widely useful. It just works and just about everywhere. Even now it works on the server (node.js; etc?) You can implement OOP using JS. But php is awesome too. I'd argue more awesome. I believe, unless I've missed something new and great and in the works, that php is still shackled to the server (yes, it is, as of this post). Why!-why I tell you! Give me php on the client-side! Let me run it in the browser! Let me have all those latest-and-greatest features provided by php 7 in the browser! Let me stop having to pay attention to my concatenation operators ("." and "+") and more importantly go with a single language syntax. Let's see...do I ".push(val)" that element into my array or do I do a "[ ]=$val;". Dollar signs in front of my variables? Ugh. Let me type-hint for function args/parameters and return values. Let me create an object-hierarchy on the client-side without some crazy work-around to achieve object-member scope/visibility/hiding. I admit, my code-base is invested heavily in php. But php is damn good also. JavaScript runs on the server now. Why doesn't PHP run on the browser now. Let's get that damn library running. I know it's doable since I can run XAMPP on my local machine. Please put that PHP engine in the browser. Expected result: ---------------- Heavenly. Actual result: -------------- Void. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76064&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=76064&r=mysqlcfg
