Answer 1

You have to use exec or passthru and execute the js with Node in PHP to start the JS interpretter...

I just ran this test from the Mac command line

# Made a directory to test in
$ mkdir jsphptest && cd jsphptest

# made a test php file
$ touch test.php

# put some PHP code in the PHP file that tells it to run a javascript file
$ echo '<?php passthru("node test.js"); ?>' > test.php

# create the above references js file
$ touch test.js

# Put some JS code in the new JS file that logs some stuff into the console
$ echo 'console.log("this is javascript");' > test.js

# run the php file
$ php test.php

#outputs: this is javascript

javascript is client based language so you can not execute it this way. Javascript is being executed by browser
