Wouldn't it be cool if . . .

PHP could process some things client side?

I mean if the client has PHP installed on their system, .. you could do things like manipulate images without uploading them first, .. or have greater i/o options as far as their local drives go ..

just a though.

Meh, I like PHP fully server side, too many problems with it being client side... Isn't VBScript somehow client/server side (Only IE supports it but other then that...)

vb is client side because windows scripting language is vb, this bad for many many reasons and why php should not be client side. anything that allows someone to execute code on a client that has tie ins with an os is bad

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.
