Ok - then you and Thomas would see this statement in the same manner:

"Screw drivers are normally used to tighten or loosen screws"

And you would point out, that a screw driver can also be used to stir a
cup of coffee or as a lever to open the lid of a can - so it is wrong to
assume that a screw driver is "normally" a tool to handle screws.

Well - yes - i'm exaggerating a bit. But hopefully you will get the point.

Even if it is *also* possible to use PHP in different ways and not just
as a scripting language in web servers it is easier for beginners to
*define* it as a "server side" language in contrast to JavaScript which
is usually used on "client side" within the browser, since most PHP
applications in the real world *are* this way.

Just remember the questions in this newsgroup if PHP can determine an
audio file playing in the browser (and some other similar questions) -
this confusion also comes from statements like yours and Thomas which
may be correct in technical terms - but it doesn't help people with
lesser knowledge and only increases the confusion about concepts and the
different aspects of web based applications. You have to separate these
two sides of server and client and consider carefully what things happen
on which side.
