They don´t... PHP is server side open source cross platform Javascript is client side They have strengths and weaknesses but do mix well. PHP at version 5 is a mature OOP language and I use it to implement business logic & database patterns over a MySQL database serving pages with embedded Javascript to handle UI patterns (thanks yahoo btw) A good book? Unusally I think the dummies PHP book is a good place to start (let the flames begin) Is this the first PHP question on CP :confused: And why am I answering :~ Hope this helps?

Thanks for the response. Dummies books are written to my level of comprehension so I will get a copy. I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

PHP can be used on the client side, although it's an unusual use. JavaScript is used on both server and client side. Steve

true, but didnt want over complicate things and as the most popular language of all time Javascript doesn´t need much promotion. So I thought giving PHP(5) a shove in this august site might be fun if a little like shouting into the wind:sigh: wikipedia and www.devarticles.com have good info on Javascript for the full story... php.org has what else you might need too...
