Embedded Javascript interpreter for php

Question

Is there some api available for embedding javascript in php - something similar to Jint for .NET.

I would like to allow user to customize workflow by being able to access limited php classes and methods that can be run at server-side.

User writes a code block that gets executed later... for example, js/ecma script code like ...

if (Contact.Age < 12){
  Contact.setEligibility = false;
}
else{
  Contact.setEligibility = true;
}

I am afraid to directly expose script execution to the client. Didn't really evaluate that as an option. Thanks for the thought. — Cheen Ju

There's a pseudo-Javascript interpreter called 'phpjs' (php functions implemented in javascript), which I happen to know about. And a fully syntax compatible JS interpreter (written in pure PHP) called Javascript for PHP5: http://j4p5.sourceforge.net/ - implements the JS language, not the DOM or much functions.

If you want a full-fledged and "real" Javascript runtime, then there is a PECL extension for that. http://pecl.php.net/package/spidermonkey (requires custom compiling PHP interpreter).

worth pointing out that both the above are alpha releases, so not production quality. j4p5 looks interesting but appears not to have been updated in several years; project may be dead. The spidermonkey one is more recent but the homepage link is dead. I don't think I'd want to use either for anything serious.
