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 :)
