Re: How do I create a win app that incorporates php's functionality?

--- Received from FPU.WHITES1 799 3703 07-11-01 07:59 ----- -> IN=php-windows@lists.php.net Totally with you on that one! I use PHP all the time as a general scripting language nowhere near my web server (though I use it there too of course!) Perl, Python and REXX have all come and gone on my boxes but PHP seems to be there for good 8-) -Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: yodaa222@NOSPAMhome.com To: php-windows@lists.php.net, php-general@lists.php.net Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001 22:35:23 -0800 Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: How do I create a win app that incorporates php's functionality? No, no no no. PHP is much more than a server-side scripting language. That's only one of many possible uses for it. PHP is one bad-assed tool that can do much more than mere server-side scripting. I want to use it to script the way a program behaves. For the project I'm working on it would be VERY impractical to write a new executable every time I need it to do something different, so I have to have some sort of scripting to make it work. I could write my own scripting language.... I guess.... but why try to reinvent the wheel? Why make my program ride around on semi-rounded rocks when there are goodyear tires right over there I could use... if I could only figure out those damned lug nuts. (I know, lame analogy...)
