Best way to turn a php script into an executable?

[devWhiz]

I've tried to use this http://www.bambalam.se/bamcompile/ .. but I cant get curl to work using the option to set the extension.. I need it to be able to sign into myspace or facebook with curl when it is in an exe.. everything else works fine with bambalam, everything but curl and connecting to an mysql db, I dont need to have mysql support, only curl.. what would be the easiest way to make this happen?

 

btw the exe should just open a CLI and run the script, thanks

try batch:

@echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\PATH_TO_PHP_EXEC"
start php -q some_file.php

[jonsjava]

actually, to make it modular:

 

run_php.bat

@echo off
set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Path to PHP"
set runme=%1
start php -q %runme%

 

USAGE:

change the "C:\Path to PHP" to the path to your PHP install

then run it as such:

run_php.bat some_php_file.php

what do you mean

 

"run it as such "

run_php.bat some_php_file.php

Hmm, it didnt compile it into an .exe, any help is appreciated,, thanks!

this doesn't make an EXE. It is a batch file. A script that windows will execute line-by-line.  You will still need the PHP files, but if this isn't going to be a packaged-up deal, it should work just fine.

Oh, I'm trying to get something that compiles the php file into an exe, so no one can view the code in the script

There are plenty of PHP compilers around, have your searched Google?

[devWhiz]

Yes sir I sure have, the only I have had semi success with was the bambalam compiler, and it doesnt seem to want to work with cURL after its in .exe format... do you have anything in mind for me thorpe?

 

Thanks for the replies btw

Ive never bothered with any compilers, don't really see the point sorry.
