Use of php for simple client side apps


rayleiter

Recommended Posts

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?

Php comes with a web server built in. Still though, I'm not sure "client side" apps is a great domain to be using php in. I meen, you'd need to take care of the installation and maintenance of php and all then.
