Server-side JavaScript, e.g. PHP

Question

Now I'm going to install my server code in JavaScript and start doing all this, but I want to know about its security and flexibility compared to PHP.

I also want to know if it can be successfully used to develop things like forums, full websites, etc., like PHP does.

Answer 1

Javascript is just starting to get some presence on the server with things like ServerJS and nodeJS , but right now you will probably be best off using PHP for your server side code and javascript for client side beautification.

Answer 2

The question is very, very broad. Interpreting it as "can I use Javascript on the server":

In principle, of course, Javascript is a very powerful language, so you can create a server version on it, as well as on the client side (and if you use client-side scripts, you get certain reuse advantages using Javascript on the server).

PHP and JavaScript are two different languages ​​that do two different things. You can not replace another. You are most likely going to use a combination of the two. JavaScript for the client side. PHP for server applications.
