If you want you can use PHP in IE/Win as a client-side scripting language but I think that does not help you.


Do you happen to have a URI that explains how to enable it in IE6? The last URL I had - <URL: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2004/07/14/client-side-php-in-internet-explorer/ > - doesn't work for me in IE6 even when I hunt down the .dll file


I have never done it for PHP itself but the Microsoft architecture allows for other Active scripting engines, I have tested that with some Windows Perl some years ago. It is mainly meant to allow Windows Script Host automation with other languages than JScript and VBScript that Microsoft provides but with that Perl installation I had you could then also uses Perl as a client-side scripting language in HTML documents in IE.
And PHP 5 as an ActiveScript extension on Windows
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.activescript.php>
As said I have never tried that but my understanding of that script engine architecture is that having and registering that dll as described will give you "PHPScript" support in ASP, WSH and in IE too.

Thank you Martin. I had tried it before and couldn't get it to work properly for me in IE. Never tried it in Mozilla even though I have the reference page that explains how to do it. My main interest in it isn't to try to use PHP as a client-side language per se but to try to use it to test PHP scripts without having to run a server locally.

I will give it a whirl this weekend :)
