[ciapug] PHP/Java

[Barry Von Ahsen]

Correct, have the PHP write the javascript, and by the time the client 
browser sees it, it's just javascript (just like PHP writing html)

in the end the browser interprets whatever php spits out, so
<? echo "javascript:document.body.println(\"Hello world\")"; ?>
is no different than
<? echo "<p>Hello world!</p>"; ?>
to php, but it is to the browser.
