PHP Programming for Windows Applications : Some Facts

PHP is not only for web applications but also for Windows applications. Here is a solution known as WinBinder (www.winbinder.org) . WinBinder is a new open source extension for PHP, the script programming language. It allows PHP programmers to easily build native Windows applications.

A small set of WinBinder functions encapsulates many complex aspects of the Windows API and makes programming for Windows an easy task.

No compiling and linking steps necessary: just code and run.
Interfaces directly to the Window API. This means fast execution, no extra libraries and no installation required.
Access to the vast range of existing PHP functions and extensions, including databases, graphics, web functions, XML, PDF, and much more

Large installed base of PHP programmers.

Access to the vast range of existing PHP functions and extensions, including databases, graphics, web functions, XML, PDF, and much more.
A small set of WinBinder functions encapsulates many complex aspects of the Windows API and makes programming for Windows an easy task.
Provides 100% native Windows classes and controls.
Interfaces directly to the Window API. This means fast execution, no extra libraries and no installation required.
Supports both procedural and object-oriented programming models.
High performance, compares favorably to most scripting languages.
Produces standalone applications that can be easily installed and removed with no reboot.
Small footprint. A simple Windows application, complete with the PHP runtime and SQLite extension, is smaller than 700 kB (zipped).
A database-independent framework allows easy coding (no SQL knowledge is necessary) and smooth integration with the WinBinder code.
No database server required if using SQLite.
Does not need to use to the Windows registry, but may use it if necessary.
