Local Machine

I am looking at selling a PHP application which is quite large (uses the dojo ajax toolkit). I was hoping to run the app from the end users local machine. I am not overly worried about source code etc because the people I am selling to have little IT knowledge in this area. The problem is that with their limited knowledge I dont want them to have to run apache etc. Is there an application which will allow them to use the PHP app like an executable? Or a way to install a "program" which will load apache in the background and then open up the local copy of the app?

 

Any thought on going about this would be appreciated.

PHP Cannot be run as an executable file in itself, it can be run through executed files.

 

Requiring your clients to have PHP+Apache installed on their machine with no knowledge of either is not a very wise idea.

 

Unless you are using GTK+ extension and having a Graphical PHP interface I see no reason not to have one centralized copy of the software hosted on your server, and access given to them in that form, it will save you time in many areas.
