Spock, do you need to be so logical? Think about what the person is
asking. Is he referring to JavaScript on the server? The reasonable
answer, although perhaps not 100% technically correct, is that you can
do things in JavaScript (on the web browser client) that are simply not
possible with PHP (on the web server). One example is opening a window.
