Can php.js run on shared hosting?

Yes. It is static JavaScript that runs in the visitor's browser, so a standard shared cPanel account can host it. It needs no SSH or special access and adds essentially no server load.

How do I install php.js?

In cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, select php.JS and click Install. It is usually a few clicks with no manual upload. Softaculous puts the library files in a directory of your account, which you reference from your own pages.

Is php.js the same as Locutus?

The official phpjs.org project continues as Locutus, a TypeScript collection of standard-library function ports from PHP and many other languages, under an MIT licence. Softaculous lists version 3.26 of php.js, so the packaged copy may not match the current Locutus code.

Is php.js free to use?

php.js is provided under this licence: MIT (per the Locutus project; not stated on the Softaculous page). You install php.js from Softaculous in one click and check the project's own site for the exact terms; your Hostripples hosting plan is billed separately from the application itself.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as php.js?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run php.js alongside other apps in its category (Libraries), such as jQuery and AngularJS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for php.js?

php.js is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Do you migrate my existing php.js site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is php.js?

php.js is an open-source project that lets developers use PHP-style functions in JavaScript, for example date() for PHP-like date formatting or base64_decode(). The project has since continued as Locutus, which ports standard-library functions from many languages. It is a library, not a site you run: Softaculous places the files in your account.

How to install php.js on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, php.js is live

Licence: MIT (per the Locutus project; not stated on the Softaculous page) · Built with: JavaScript (runs in the browser) · Official site: locutus.io

Common uses

Reusing familiar PHP function names in client-side scripts
Porting PHP logic to JavaScript
Formatting dates in PHP style in the browser

php.js requirements

Database: none

php.js is client-side JavaScript, so the server only serves static files and needs no PHP or database for it. The Softaculous package version could not be dated, so check it suits your needs.
