ID: 51717 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: scratch65535 at att dot net Summary: Replace in-browser javascript terp with php terp -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: any/all PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: sjoerd Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-03 13:21:17] [email protected] While I agree with you that Javascript leaves room for improvement, your desire to use PHP in the browser is not going to see the light of day within the PHP project. This feature would so big and separate from the current PHP implementation that it would be its own project. Of course, you are welcome to start such a project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-01 17:25:18] scratch65535 at att dot net Description: ------------ PHP is already far more stable and solidly defined than Javascript or any of its permutations is. That advantage will continue through the foreseeable future. Providing a browser-resident php terp would allow people to exploit their php experience to create client-side javascript-type functionality without actually having to struggle with all the javascript craziness. (Just a data point from personal experience: I've been programming since 1975, in everything from 8-bit Basic to CDC CP & PP assembly languages. After a month of struggle, I gave up on trying to add javascript functionality to my php apps. The evidence suggests that the language was designed by a kitten with a ball of yarn.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51717&edit=1
