Historically PHP had *always* been targeted to be used on a server to
generate output for one or more clients delivered via HTTP. That's the
reason why there are modules for Apache, why PHP supports CGI and why
literally every book about PHP teaches how to create websites using PHP
and not how to build desktop applications using PHP.

Just because it is technically possible to set up a PHP runtime
environment literally anywhere and <http://gtk.php.net/> exists it does
not make PHP a language which is also be used on "client side". BTW -
the last update of <http://gtk.php.net/> dates back to August 2010...

The opposite is true for ECMAScript which is fact used "server side" and
"client side" as well also in real applications.

But for sure you can name some popular PHP based desktop applications
that prove it wrong, that PHP is *usually* only used "server side" - can
you?
