Description:
------------
PHP is already far more stable and solidly defined than Javascript or any of its permutations is.  That advantage will continue through the foreseeable future.

Providing a browser-resident php terp would allow people to exploit their php experience to create client-side javascript-type functionality without actually having to struggle with all the javascript craziness.

(Just a data point from personal experience:  I've been programming since 1975, in everything from 8-bit Basic to CDC CP & PP assembly languages.  After a month of struggle, I gave up on trying to add javascript functionality to my php apps.  The evidence suggests that the language was designed by a kitten with a ball of yarn.)

While I agree with you that Javascript leaves room for improvement, your desire to 
use PHP in the browser is not going to see the light of day within the PHP 
project. This feature would so big and separate from the current PHP 
implementation that it would be its own project. Of course, you are welcome to 
start such a project.
