PHP - Keyboard Shortcuts?

Posted by GNexus, 02-25-2010, 07:19 PM
Hi everyone. I wanted to know if there are any keyboard shortcuts (for forwards and backwards) that can be used using PHP? For example, if I click the back button on my keyboard it goes to the last page I saw. If I click forward, then it goes forward (like the icons on a browser, but using a keyboard). I know this can be achieved using JavaScript, but I wanted to know if it can be done via PHP as well. If so, how?

Hi, This can only be done by using javascript. As Javascript runs client-side it is the only one able to achieve client-side behavior. You could output client-side javascript through PHP, but that's just a detour because you will end up with Javascript anyway.

PHP is a server side script. It passes a static page back to the client basically. You need something with client side functionality.

I'm curious though...outside of json_encode(), are there any libraries/functions that will perform auto-generated JS functionality for PHP, along the lines of .NET technologies?
