I've never seen javascript run on anything but a browser. Unless
someone's developed a non-browser version, I personally consider it a
client-side scripting language. It's meant to control a browser and
nothing else, which is the client for web pages.

php is not intended to run on the browser. It runs on the server that
the browser talks to. It can run as part of the web-server or from the
command line. Same for perl, Java, python, ruby, or C. To me, that
makes them server-side programming languages.

I don't know if that matches other's definitions of server-side vs.
client-side, but that's my definition.
