VBScript was the same situation... Oh yeah? Is this so sure? I am getting quite excited thinking that PHP can act as the client side scripting. Perhaps there can be some improvements made (like automatic downloads, small file sizes, tigher Client/Server connection, PHP/JS (and vice-versa) conversions (for unsupported browsers?), just to mention the few wild guesses I'm having here) to get PHPScript spread in a wider way? PHP would also be easier to code in than with JS. Substituting many JS with PHPS would be sooo dreamy :) -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net
