mwsX - write in one language, run in all

mwsX it's a non-intrusive library to remotelly call a function, independent of which language it was written (aka "webservice"). You can include your PHP file in Javascript and access the PHP functions, or call Ruby methods in PHP, even in different server.

Some uses

you can use PHP functions directly in JavaScript;
you can publish your PHP functions as web-services;

Use example

<?php
// this file: my_php.php
require "mwsx.php";

/* _EXPORT_ */
function my_function($a) {
    return my_function("Hello $a");
}

<!-- this file: my_html.html -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="mwsx.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    require_ws("my_php.php?mwsd");

    alert(my_function("World"));
</script>

Calling "my_html.html" an alert will popup with "Hello World" message
