Default Server side and client side

What's the difference between server-side and client-side programming languages? I've never heard either of the terms (other than on this forum). Is there any other kind of -side language?

I've seen these two terms used a few times on the forum and I don't know what it is either.

Server-side is where all the operations are done on the server, such as PHP. PHP is "compiled" by the server and sent to the client as plain html. Javascript is an example of a Client-Side languge, which compiles and runs through the browser.

I never understood it either, and I guess I understand it a bit now. But I'm still a little confused, I guess I'll turn to Google for an explanation as well.

Client side runs on the clients computer (CCC, hehe)
Server side runs in the background and what results is what you see on your computer.

PHP/Perl = Server
JSP = Client

With client side (like jsp) you can't talk to the server and update DBs and such.

With Server Side you can't talk to the users browser and update only part of a webpage without refreshing.

Small correction, Lop: JSP = Java Server Page = server side. I think you meant JavaScript, which is usually executed by the browser on the client.

Oh, probably right brackett. I always thought JSP was JavaScript.
