Running PHP with... JavaScript?!

Yep, you heard that right. Using the power of WebAssembly we can run PHP code with just JavaScript, either directly in the browser or in a terminal window with Node.

In this video I'll show you a couple ways this might be useful, and explain how to build a light-weight local dev environment using Express and PHP-WASM.

I’m so excited for this, I’ve been exploring PHP WASM a lot lately and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna go mainstream over the next year or two. Imagine being able to use something like Laravel Collections in the frontend, entirely client-side… It’d be a godsend!

please how long did it take you to learn how to use this package and also please what was your approach... can tweet it to would be really helpful🙏🙏

so if I get this right, let's say I want to write an app and for the app I would use vanilla JS.

Using vanilla js means my code is easily acessible and ppl can copy it.

But if i run it through PHP WASM would that not be the case anymore?

trying to figure out some more use cases

Great video.
But what about PHP extensions? Are they taken care of by PHP-WASM?

Do you plan on taking this to the next level? For example, extending Diode so that you are able to use packages, etc. Or was it meant more as an exploratory project? Loving this btw!
