desktop applications in php

[sagar]

Hello,

I have written web-scripts in php.
I want to know if it is possible to write desktop aplications in php
which dont require the web server. If yes, than can we run these
applications as executable in windows.


Thank You
Sagar Arlekar

You can:

1) use the GTK widget set from PHP
2) create a POSIX environment on the MS-Windows (not 'windows') machine then
use the ncurses library with PHP
3) ISR tht someone was working on embedding PHP into a CHM help-browser type
application - try google for more info

....but the web browser environment provides so much functionality maybe you
should think about using a slimline webserver. There's even a couple
written in PHP.
