[Use of php for simple client side apps]

trq;

Thanks for your thoughts.

I didn't know php had a built-in web server.

The maintenance wouldn't be too troublesome, as there as only a few clients.

This is just something I've been thinking about.

Thanks again.

[Use of php for simple client side apps]

I was wondering about developing simple client side graphical apps.

I was thinking of using php with an ODBC connection to the data store.

The data store might be a text file in CSV format or something similar. (maybe even a spreadsheet)!

I was wondering what would be a very simple minimally useful web server to run on the client?

The client would probably be MS Windows XP/7.

 

What are your thoughts?
