RE: [PHP-EVANGELISM] client side

Clients wouldn't have to install if we look at the IE under windows
market
and simply supply as an auto install activeX just like flash and
remember
that the biggest market for this type of functionality would be in the
intranet/extranet
mostly closed network where people want more flexibility for
computations on the client.

Great for messaging/graphing direct database calls etc etc

Security would be an issue as most of the plug-in type situations need
to have
authority to talk directly to the hard drive.

Firewalls would be an issue for any database calls etc
