Compile that - and you can run it on any system that is binary
compatible, whether or not is has a C compiler.
However, it will not run on systems that are not binary compatible, even
if they have a C compiler.
<?php
print ("Hello World");
?>
That will only run on systems with a php interpreter, even if you
"compile" it into byte-code.
However, unlike the c example, it will run on any system with a php
interpreter.
Nothing fuzzy about it.
