It is easy to distribute a single file myprogram1.pyz see: http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2012/05/21/python-zip-files/ === in java also we can bundle all the .class files into a single .jar file and run it java -jar myprogram1.jar ======== Now, i request you to kind provide a feature in php-cli that if i have lots of files like: a1.php , a2.php, __main__.php dir1/a4.php etc. (say, which uses PHP-GTK for a Desktop application). Then i should be able to bundle them as zip file, say myprog1.zip or myprog1.pz (pz =php's zipped executable archive). And then i can distribute this "single file" and execute it as: php myprog1.pz This will execute the __main__.php file among all the other .php files, inside this .zip archive myprog1.pz . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68340&edit=1
