It could be something like a tiny virtual machine, similar to Java's. I agree that writing client-side scripts in PHP could be easier than in Java or VB and thus I see it as a possibility. The downside is the limited user-base it would be - any way you wish it to work it will have to be a plugin.... -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net
