Re: Client Side PHP

Think thje user base will be quite big if we got it together. How many oho programmers are there who struggle with Javascript - me included ;-) Anyway the opensourcness of php would make the plugins more efficient for each browser. pete Maxim Maletsky wrote:

PHP codes gets executed at the server (server side), so I wonder how you can make it to work at the client side? But good thinking :) huzz

Client Side PHP ? ... maybe you could ;-) ... you only have to install PHP on your box. PHP is too mighty and huge to implement in the browser like JavaScript or VBscript nor will M$ ever wan't to replace VB with PHP. But you have to use a PHP system ruuning on your box to interpret the code. That way everybody who want to use Client-Side PHP have to get the hole PHP system ... that's not the point it will ever go so this is a dead end. And who realy needs it ? The browsers and HTML lacks on other problems than on possibilys to manage somethin with a good scripting tool.

well, in lots of cases PHP will not have to be installed fully in order to support client side. 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
