JavaScript to PHP?

[The Numerator]

I was just wondering that if it is possible to do almost anything you
can do in JavaScript in PHP.

Off the top of my head, I would say no. Because in my opinion, one of
the most important essences of javascript is the dynamic DOM
manipulation, which PHP can not do.

Are you referring to server-side or client-side Javascript?

No.
Javascript is capable of interacting with the DOM in ways that PHP cannot.
Javascript functions are able to be "activated" event handlers whereas PHP
cannot.

But it can. You are confusing interface language and object model.

Javascript is (nearly always, anyway) run on the client. PHP is run on
the server. That being the case, they do quite different things. There
is a small set of things that can be accomplished from either end.
There are *many* things that can be done client-side but not
server-side, and there are *many* things that can be done server-side
but not client-side.

JavaScript, JScript, and other ECMAScript implementations are.
There is no "Javascript".
PHP is run on the server. That being the case, they do quite different
things.
PHP can also run without a server.
