chris86 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Can PHP be used to create a Windows based application (NOT a web-based app)? For instance, if something could be coded in VB.NET or C#, could it also be coded in PHP? I know that Visual Studio comes with a lot of "built-in" features that allow developers to easily create the GUI for a Windows-based app. Does PHP offer something similar to Visual Studio, or must the visual interface be manually developed using HTML and CSS? If you were creating a Windows based app, would you code it in .NET or PHP? Which option would be easier? (Again, this is for a WINDOWS based app, not a web-based app.) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60492-solved-php-for-windows-based-application/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris86 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 That looks like a nice solution, and it's open source. Thanks pocobueno. Have you personally used Winbinder? I'm curious whether there would be a steep learning curve for a developer who has never used it before.
