pQuery - PHP + jQuery - Good or Stupid?

[Webnerd]

Okay, I had a debate with someone today about an infamous idea called pQuery which can be found at http://www.ngcoders.com/php/pquery-php-and-jquery/.

I think the idea is just plain foolish as it ties the PHP to the interface and really, has no other functionality besides submitting a form. It is a minimalistic approach to a single person's idea of "something good".

Any other comments are appreciated on this topic.

Well I'm generally all for modularization and keeping everything seperate, but I don't really see how PHP can ever be seperate from the interface (if by interface you mean the interactive web page the user sees). I mean in many cases PHP directly generates it.

If it's something silly, like mixing PHP and Javascript, then I'd definitely think it a less than desirable way of doing things.

Didn't see much info on the site and I've never heard of Jquery before.
