I was under the impression that JavaScript, although largely 
client-side, is to some extent server-dependent. It turns out that I was 
wrong - JavaScript can certainly be used server-side, but doesn't appear 
to require a server.

Your gentle correction is very much appreciated, and should be 
considered a fine example for others to follow.

It's certainly supported on Linux. I don't have a PHP install for 
Windows so I can't answer that question.
