This scratchpad is intended for preparing a JavaScript library which mimics the API of PHP. This is intended to make it easier for PHP developers to use just one familiar API for functions (albeit relying on JavaScript syntax). The functions may not mirror the exact behavior as found in PHP--either due to insurmountable differences with JavaScript or due to not having been adequately programmed yet (though please help to improve this). For I/O and other privileged functions, we could either use Mozilla Javascript and XPCOM and/or Server-side JavaScript (SSJS).
