An article I saw come through the news feeds today. It may apply to some of you guys. Maybe your wanting to do something like this.. thought I would share.

Justin's blog: How to turn a php script to an exe for free

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
As unlikely as it sounds, I was actually wondering about that a few days ago, and forgot to look into it. You're a mind reader! Thanks for sharing. Shame you can't convert an executable to PHP

EDIT: I'm sure it's just me, but I can find directives and screenshots, but nothing that actually tells you how to get started. Even the "Getting Started" section on the site appears to be non-existent.

It would appear me and JDF read the same RSS feeds
Fuzzy, these are all the instrutions you will get

1) copy all of your scripts/files into the htdocs directory (make sure that the main file is called index.php)
2) launch bin/wapache.exe
3) you will now see your php script in the application that is running

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Nice one, thanks. Where did you find that? At least now I know where to start. Thanks again!

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
Guess you must have been looking on the officie site... that was on the blog post just under the scree shot, where it says "How to turn your PHP script into an xe" in bold

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Blast! That's about the only link on the page I didn't click. :red:

I'm still quite shocked they aren't on the Wapache site - the logical place to find them.

Thats the peoblem with a lot of Open Source software (CI being the exception).... the end user documentation normally sucks
This is especially true for small and medium size OSS projects

Also check out http://winbinder.org/

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
Oooh, that one looks nice, seems like a more complete solution
(I have no need for either of them, but will try them out so I know for the future)

And fuzzy, you will be pleased to know this one looks like it has some proper documentation (its got awhole tab devoted to it)

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Yeah, it looks nice. And they are on sourceforge?

I like documentation, I do.
