PHP problem
 

I would like to create an app, that can be run from the webbrowser, and I want to use php. However, the machine the app should run on, doesn't have a web server. How could I make this run?
I would like to do this on a win$ box, but knowing how to do it on Linux might be helpful as well
Thanks

You can't use php for client side processing. It runs on the webserver only.

I know, but it's possible to run php in commandline mode - so there is some sort of possibility. In windows, you can have the php.exe. But I have no Idea what exactly it does.
And if php won't work, what would you use instead?

you can build php static under linux. so you can run it from command line. it is possible to create gui apps with php + gtk too under linux. then you don`t need a webbrowser. but i don´t think that´s possible in windows (gui).
but you can install apache under windows as well as under linux. then you have a server for free!
another alternative is to write a java applet that can be used in a browser on windows an linux.

Get a PHP enabled host on the internet for $3/mo and you're good to go, for anyone that wants to view your app.

Otherwise the Win sys will REQUIRE a webserver with PHP (at last the version you're using for dev) installed.
