Is there a way to make php-gtk2 files with extension ".php" executables? so that the user is not obliged to install php-gtk on its machine in order to run the files?

:)

I'm still looking into the various options myself, but one thing you can do on a Windows (XP) machine is create a shortcut that points to the php.exe and pass the script file as an argument...this loads the php script into the php.exe and works great. It does require your PHP-GTK library to be in a known location on the client machine, however.

I'll try and post back here when I figure something better out.

Example:
right-click your desktop or any directory >> New >> Shortcut

Browse to the php.exe in the wizard, click Next, click Finish

right-click the new shortcut icon and select Properties

Place the script path after the Target: "path/to/php.exe" path/to/script.php

Make the script path relative to the path given in the Start In: box

* hope this helps get you started

I think is the best way,
or if u just want test and make a shorcut for any .php is boring.
create a only Shortcut and drop the file.php over it

example # on windows
new shorcut path/to/php-gtk/php-win.exe

example #1 whit file on windows
file in the same folder
new shorcut x:\path\to\php-gtk\php-win.exe file.php
file in somewhere on your system =D
new shorcut x:\path\to\php-gtk\php-win.exe x:path\to\file.php

You can also make a phpw file (ex run.phpw)
In this file you'll write :

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/file_to_launch.php');

Then just doubleclick the phpw file ;)

how ?

ok.. i make a file


run.phpw
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/file.php');


double click.. but nothing =/
what i need do more ?

I believe you must need a specific system configuration for this to work ... WinXP Pro SP2 with Php-Gtk2 installed did not recognize this as a known file type and prompted me for what App to use to open it with (?)

ies
i don't know , just an idea XD

make a registri to recognize the extención and automatic aply the php.exe to open it..

/* Shiniscochan en caminooo !!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

*/

import to the system register classes root ??

jus t a idea =P

Please note, although no boardcode and smiley buttons are shown, they are still useable

with google ^^' i find gnope
how?

download and install the package

in the step 2:-Choose Component- of the InstallShield, there is a component: "File asociation" who associate ".phpw" to the php.exe ^^' nice right :D ^^'

let's rock

Greetings,

I have a couple of apps I have built for use in my company the most recent being a Dynamic DNS Client for distribution to our customers (We are an ISP). I for my own use simply create batch files on my windows box and shell scripts on my Macbook. However, our customers may not trust a batch file so I came across the following:
http://www.battoexe.com/

This small program will convert a batch file to an executable, it also has a "Ghost" mode so a command prompt does not open which typically does on a batch file.

Then I use Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) to create a installer to install everything on windows for me. It gives a nice professional look and no one ever knows any different.

XP (not sure about Vista) has a nice utility iexpress which is located in the system32 directory, which will do similar to what I am doing above, however the command prompt still will open up.

The above method has worked on both XP, Vista, and 98 so far. With no complaints.

HTH,
Nitro7

nitro7,

Great instructions--I didn't know about this approach at all. I'm not familiar with making batch files, but I'm sure I can figure it out (I've figured everything else out :-)

Thanks again
