Many servers recognize this mime type as source and send you the file. But if you are thinking about security... the script is compiled and executed on the server. What you see are the results of the application. Get it? This is good and bad... Because it means you can only run each application once and then you have to call it again. Possibly with different parameters etc. It's why I also use JavaScript. The application resides on the client. Meaning the client can interact with it, So lets say you have 2 select boxes. You want to populate the second one with data depending on the selection of the first with out reloading the page. This can be done in JavaScript. Not in PHP. When doing something like that I use PHP to populate my javaScript arrays and JS handle the interaction with the client.
