Environment for HTML and PHP execution outside the Browser

A few years ago I found a software that provided an environment for running HTML+PHP+Javascript applications outside the browser. For example, it was possible to develop an application in these languages (it supported, in addition to PHP, Ruby and Python, if I am not mistaken) and ran as if it were any Windows program.

I happen to be needing this software but I can’t find it anymore because I can’t remember the name of the project.

Would anyone know the name of this app or another that does the same thing?

  • It’s just a kick but it would be the gtk?

  • First thing I thought when reading the title @rray http://gtk.php.net/

  • It’s not GTK. It’s something like opening an HTML application in Chrome with the APP parameter and with a web server and php already built in.

I’m pretty sure you’re referring to https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop

I think it is not totally independent, requires either Chrome or embedded Internet Explorer:

How to create your first application

  1. Download the PHP Desktop (Chrome or Internet Explorer)
  2. Create a folder called meuaplicativo
  3. Extract the contents of PHP Desktop inside this folder, it should look like this:

    pasta

  4. Open the phpdesktop-chrome.exe or phpdesktop-msie.exe (depends on the version you installed), will open a screen like this:

    php desktop msie

To disable the console screen you need to locate the settings.json and change the show_console for false:

"debugging": {
    "show_console": false,
    "subprocess_show_console": false,
    "log_level": "DEBUG4",
    "log_file": "debug.log"
}

To change the application change the files inside the folder www.

How it works:

It incorporates all the services your application may need before running. The main elements are the web server (Mongoose), PHP and the Sqlite database. It incorporates a browser (actually Chrome or Internet Explorer):

PHP Desktop


Note: I also found this https://sourceforge.net/projects/html5phpdesktop/, i don’t know if they are the same thing, but the first link is more updated.
