Hi suresh,

Yes it is possible to create exe's.

As you know, PHP is widely know as a web language. But now, it is very easy to use the language you make websites with, to make desktop applications.

The way you can only make executables for windows. I have yet to find one that makes them for Mac or Linux.

Here we can see the steps to create exe.

Step 1: Get the required software]

Here i am using the BamBalam Compiler. This one is the easiest to use.

Download it here.

Once downloaded, Unzip.

Step 2: Setup a good environment

To make a good environment for building your exe's, copy bamcompile.exe to a new folder on your desktop. Rename it bam.exe.

Make a new file called compile.bat, and in it, put:

Code:

bam source.php

Make a new file called source.php

Now your environment is setup!

Step 3: Make a program!

It is now very easy to make a quick little application. In your file called source.php, put:

Code:

<?php
$file = fopen("test.txt", 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($file);
?>

Now, double click, compile.bat.

Result

If you followed all the instructions, you should end up with a file called source.exe.
If you run that, it should make a new blank file called test.txt

Wow, that was easy! Feel free to play with the source.php and try different things.
