server side javascript for PHP?

adrive

you know, back in those days when we were using ASP we could actually use something like <%@ Language=JavaScript%>, so i could actually mix javascript and asp together to output an appropriate html.

I was wondering if PHP can accept any server side javascript?

Why can't i code directly with PHP? Because I need to call a function directly from Paj's MD5 encryption http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ which seems to produce different results compared to php's MD5() function.

So it would be great if PHP could support server side javascript in this scenario.😕

edit : sorry, they DO produce the same results. I was trying to encrypt time and wrongly tested. But still, does PHP support server side javascript? In in case i need to call the MD5 function from the javascript.

I am not aware of any such capability in PHP. You might be able to kludge something together if your server supports SSJS by exec()-ing it or maybe a file_get_contents() via a "http://localhost/" call, but it likely would not be very portable.

<?php echo('your javascript here'); ?>

Is this what you are looking for ? You may try it 🙂

That would be for client-side JavaScript, not server-side.

Rhino can be used to compile JavaScript into an executable that can then be called by PHP like any other executable. V8 would be worth looking at for the same task when it reaches release status.

On Windows, there is the Windows Scripting Host that will run JScript.

If the JavaScript's MD5 function is producing different results from the PHP one, then either one of the two functions is broken, or you're using them wrong 🙂

No, they were both ASP: you were mixing JavaScript and VBScript.

No, they were both ASP and handled the same way internally: you were mixing JavaScript and VBScript. Like writing an article that's mostly in Spanish except you now and then decide to write a paragraph in German. Presumably for some reason.
