Convert PHP to StandAlone Program

[ChoaticWhisper]

I was wondering if it is possible to convert something wrote in PHP to Something like C or C++ basicly just a standalone program that will work with windows.
I wrote a thing for my dad and I dont really want to have to setup apache and everything for him to use it, Because if something goes wrong he wont know how to fix it.

I will add its also some mysql, I know I could setup Foxserv on his pc.
I have found somethings that say something like it wouldnt be to hard to convert if you know both languages and I also read somewhere about something like useing php2C++ to debug it, I cant find anything concerning php2C++.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

you can find php2c++ here:

http://www.ddj.com/articles/2002/0203/

It's under:

"DEBUGGING PHP USING A C++ COMPILER"

oops, far better link:

Wonder how well this actually works, especially with some hardcore OO.

I would think java far easier (and universal), but I know java better tthan C++.

Ok I got the source code, Could be kind enough to tell me what I do with it?
If I need a compiler, I have GCC on linux or I might be able to find DJPP(Something LIke that) I downloaded awhile ago.

Sure, compile the C++ program and run. You need to supply the filename of php file to be converted, either as argument... here it is:

usage: php2c++ input.php output.cpp

I think you will find this to be a disappointment, as it just converts PHP to C++ code, doesn't really create a true app.

Hmm... Yeah I didnt expect it to make a full application like I want, Any easy way to make a normal application?(Without knowing C++). I dont have any access to VisualC or something like that.


I guess I will just have to install foxserv and hope nothing goes wrong, I will be there for about a week, I guess if something would go wrong It would be within that time.
