Re: Difference between PHP and JavaScript

You can use perl with ASP too, but that wasn't the question.

| Actually, they are both Server-Side Capable.  With ASP, you can use either
| JavaScript or VBScript as the scripting language of choice on the server
| side... and they are both client-side, too.  JavaScript is compatible with
| major browsers, while VBScript is MSIE-specific.
|
| In a nutshell, JavaScript is client-side CAPABLE, while PHP is not... yet.
| They are both server-side, however (dependent on server configuration).
