JavaScript only recognizes the keyword true in all lowercase. PHP accepts both uppercase and lowercase

PHP is not case-sensitive in function or class declarations, but JavaScript is case sensitive for these also.

The key difference between PHP and JavaScript is that JavaScript does not have associative arrays.

JSON strings having become very popular as a faster alternative to XML, and can be read and created with the PHP functions json_encode() and json_decode().

Let's take one more look at defining an object in JavaScript and see how it can be used to compensate for the lack of associative arrays in JavaScript.

// Note that variables should always be// prefixed with "var" to define a local scope.for (var n = 0; n < 10; n++) {  alert(n);}

So, are there any frameworks that don’t suck? Rasmus did mention that he liked CodeIgniter because it is faster, lighter and the least like a framework.

It all starts with “I don’t need a framework.” 2. Then you create 7 classes. 3. Now you have a small library of classes. 4. Then you create an application that uses your library. 5. It works and it’s fast, hurray! 6. Then someone asks you to extend the functionality of your application. 7. And they keep asking for more, and more, and more and more… 8. Now you have 43 classes. 9. You’ve learn so much in the last 2 years. Design patterns, security, performance, testing… 10. What once was a small library is now a big, ugly, un-tested, un-documented, scary framework. 11. Then you change jobs. 12. And you create another 7 classes… This has been happening for the last 30 years.
