fran Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This is the scenario: I want to create a program on a computer which uses PHP and MySql. I want an executable icon on the desktop that opens the php program (preferably not in a browser). I know I have to install PHP and MySql on the computer. Can this be done and are there programs that I can use to accomplish this task?

Jessica Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Probably, but why not use a language that's designed to make desktop applications not a web scripting one?

fran Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Mostly because I know php programming and can make it do exactly what I need it to do. :-( Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/277051-executable-php/#findComment-1425338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I want an executable icon on the desktop that opens the php program You don't "open" programs. You execute them. Your question depends entirely on what it is you want your program to do when it is executed. Will your program just do one specific task and then exit? You can use php's cli for this. Does your program need a gui? There is PHP-GTK but it is seriously inferior to the implementations in other languages such as Python & Ruby.
