Michael,

While I agree with your definitions, I should point out there are other
uses for PHP than server-side scripting. I prefer PHP to bash for
complicated CLI projects, for instance. And there is a package (I don't
remember the name) which allows javascript to run on the server,
although I've never seen anyone actually using it.
