PHP.JS – Your Javascript PHP Library
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
The tile may have been a wee bit confusing, partially intended. PHP.JS is one of the most useful tools I’ve seen around, and boy did they do a good job. So, what is it, specifically?
PHP.JS is a Javascript library that has converted pretty much the entire PHP library into Javascript. This is their description:
“PHP.JS is an open source project in which we try to port PHP functions to JavaScript. By including the PHP.JS library in your own projects, you can use your favorite PHP functions client-side.”
It’s completely free (thank you, open source) and can help enormously.
The main question that was on my mind was, “Do I have to download the whole thing?” After all, something that comprehensive is probably pretty hefty.
The answer, thankfully, is no! They have every function broken out into pieces and the ability to download a wide variety of packages, and each package can be modified to add or subtract individual functions.
Well, that’s it for today! If you can’t think of many uses, let me know, because I can think of a plethora of uses.
Have a great day!
