Re: PHP - Interpreted or Compiled Language

Thanks jay for quick response I'll tell you what really forced me to go in the matter of interpreted or Compiled language. In the heart of PHP 4+ is Zend Engine which compiles (often says) the php code into some intermediate code called opcode and then Zend executor executes them converting these opcodes to machine language. right?? If it is so why PHP is an Interpreted Language. I have couple of more queries also. 1)Where to get information/resourse for PHP-GTK to be able to use it in the application. 2) What are other options of compiling PHP.
