Dependencies

No dependencies, you can use this function standalone.

Open syntax issues

php.js uses JsLint to help us keep our code consistent and prevent some common bugs.

Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.


Authors

Thanks to the following developers, you get to have fgetc goodness in JavaScript.
