If a graduate at all. Consider:
"PHP is an example of a scripted language. The computer or browser reads the program like a script,..."
Hard to remember the last time my browser was reading a server-side script. ( or was it just "all those beers" they were drinking? )
- synnik 17y agoTheir statement is logically correct.. After all, the server is a computer, so you can replace 'computer' with server. Which makes the first evaluation true, and the word 'browser' is never evaluated, or at least irrelevant. You could even say that either the server or my pet ferret reads the program like a script... But seriously... the guy/girl was talking generically about scripting, not specific to server-side web scripts. So the statement is accurate.
- kulkarnic 17y agoThat was my precise first thought. But he's really talking of a scripting language in general: think Javascript (browser)or Perl (computer). Since the discussion before this line was about PHP, I think it tends to trip you up.
- mcantor 17y agoAlso consider that the speaker was talking to a computer layperson. Depending on what "level" you are speaking at, it may behoove you to simplify things and remove terminology like "server" or "client" from what you're saying. She may just have been toning things down a little.
