bittertruth,
I used php a long time ago. Very long ago actually.
I have seen it in forums like phpbb. A special case of just how successful terribly written software can be. Scary.
Is it still a trip to connect to third party non-php software from php scripts.
Terminator,
personally ive tried integrating php with JS and works pretty fine. However JS being client-side while php being server-side scripting language. The two would serve different purposes.
To produce a neat dynamic functionality with tools as chatting, page naviagation, social networking etc, php needs a helper such as ajax, or javascript
