Stand Alone PHP
I want to use PHP as a stand alone scripting language. By that I mean
without a web server present and without any HTML in the code. I have done
this in a few tests on a Win 2000 platform and, with just PHP.exe and a DLL
and the ADOdb stuff in a lone directory, I have successfully run some
scripts to talk to a database. All fine and good.
But the real goal is to make this into a tiny runtime environment that I can
deliver to any machine ... Linux or Windows ... and run some performance
tools on the local database engines ... all without any installations on
those host machines (i.e. just copy the files ... run the analysis scripts
and copy the results for post analysis . without changing the host system).
Is there a discussion anywhere about:
Keeping the runtime size to a minimum?
Cross platform got-ya's ? (I read a couple of messages about this, just
now in this group)
If this is a topic that has been covered to death .. then I apologize and
will continue my search of back news articles.
However, if anyone else is interested in this or would care to shed some
light on these issues for me, please contact me either here or directly.

Stand Alone PHP Parser
I'm wondering if someone could give some direction on a problem I have
or share their experiences.
I'm wanting to create a little PHP application that will run on a
local machine and use ODBC to connect to a Access database on that
machine. A series of forms will interact with the database but if I
understand correctly, I need some way to parse the PHP code. Is there
a stand alone parser that could be used in place of a HTTP server?

PHP GTK Vs Every Other Stand-alone Language
It seems to me PHP-GTK has all those nifty PHP-features packed inside.
I must say I am kindof a PHP-freak because te syntax and variant-types
I like so much I really want to keep programming in PHP and PHP-GTK
more and more. Does somebody have a different view on this? I am
progamming this on a windows-machine and haven't seen any other
language perform better after slamming programs together.
