  I agree it is a very informative article and I actually enjoy reading good stuff unlike all the crap out there on the internet

  I think that function has to be improved in this way:

return new Array(Number(multiplier)+1).join(input);

Change is in: Number(multiplier)

Explanation:
I have requirement for expanding numbers inside string in to equivalent number of characters. For example string: 3e2 must have string.length of 6

I have function that iterate through every character of a string and if is_numeric (one of phpjs functions too) replace that value with corresponding number of dummy characters using str_replace:

// max number that we can expand is 99

function expandTerm(subject) {

    var output = '';

    var repeat = '';



    for (i=0; i
        if(is_numeric(subject[i])) {

            repeat = subject[i];

            if (is_numeric(subject[i + 1])) {

                repeat = repeat * 10;

            }



            output = output + str_repeat('_', repeat);

            repeat = '';

        } else {

            output = output + subject[i];

        }

    }



    return output;

}

this returns 21 if input string is: 2 and __________01 if input string is: 10 and that is wrong. In first case output have to be: __ and in second __________ .
When I change your function, adding type casting on multiplier: Number(multiplier), everything working just as expected.

Have a nice day

  This way it's faster :)

String.prototype.repeat = function(l){
return new Array(l+1).join(this);
};

alert("jonas".repeat(10));

  @ Darell Brogdon: Thanks for pointing that out, I've searched hard, but wasn't able to find similar projects. Now that I did, how would you feel if I included some of your functions to this project? Well creditted of course.
Most functions are already here but I found a couple that would be a great addition.

The reason to continue here is I developed some tools that really help me to publish new functions quickly, and for me it would be a buzz killer to have to maintain this on sourceforge. Exposure here is bigger as well I think.

I do believe however that once php.js reaches version 1.0, housing it on such a platform would be a better idea.

  Here's a similar project I started awhile back if you're interested: http://sourceforge.net/projects/php4js I haven't had much time to devote to it but I would love it if someone could breathe new life into it.
