PHP is a general purpose scripting language as is JavaScript. PHP is
*usually* run on server side and JS in the browser.
PHP for Windows supports ActiveScript and that makes it possible to host
it in browser supporting this interface (e.g. IE). On the other hand
JavaScript has been used as server side scripting (ASP, GoAhead embedded
server, etc.)
Back to original question, it will require certain development effort to
plug PHP as alternative scripting engine into Firefox. Source code for
both is available ...
