You can use VBScript, but I do not know how much support you have in all browsers. There are other languages such as Kotlin or Dart that can be used, but their use depends on a special browser (Dartium, although this is to be changed by another methodology) or a compiler (Kotlin JS is a way of writing anything in Kotlin and later compile it to JS). In the not so distant future there are likely to be many more options thanks to WebAssembly.

Php is server-sided language, it cannot be used "to add interactivity to web pages" as asked by OP... VBscript is only supported in oldest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (Microsoft themselves have abandonned support)...

SQL is a database query language... it's used mainly at server side, but could be more or less related to page interactivity through AJAX calls ( http queries done with javascript to server side used to dynamically update page content without loading a complete new page ), even if safety should avoid to send SQL queries without server sided verification to protect against SQL injection attacks...
