i guess it's all reletive .. asp can be written in vb .. which would make it server-side in that case .. also , asp can be coded with javascript .. which would make javascript server-side in that case as well.
also, php can be run client side just as vb can. just not from a web server.
sure, there are security risks .. but there could be special configurations.. such as defining a specific directory locally that php can access.
remember that php doesn't always have to be used on the internet, so what about internal solutions? we use php on our corporate intranet for a variety of purposes.
i'm just saying it would be cool to have a setting where you could allow trusted php sites to have client side access.
