PHP is a server side language, Javascript is a client side language. Two completely different things.

Thanks for this information but both has same work, isn't it?
i have a site which fully depends on javascript

No, they are completely different. JavaScript works in the web browser and PHP works on the server.

Really, you should be running PHP + JS + HTML + CSS Toungue

You get the benefits of a dynamic site, with the prettiness of CSS, structure of HTML and fancy stuff provided by javascript Smile
