Which is exacly why i got excited by this idea. I'm consulting such a
project for the Italian Government now and, I tell you, we're moving
mountains here to get PHP/JS work logically together.

For tons of other things as well. JavaScript is very spread, but its
code is quite week and browser-dependant. PHP is an easy-to-learn
language and is very well spread Server-Side, PHPScript could have a
good success.

be adopted.

Database Client-Side? No idea what for. But, PHPScript and PHP on Server
could also have a chance to communicate together somehow to simplify the
things. Such ability is importnat - look at .NET, its all about that.
