THEN YOU'LL NEED a webbrowser. PHP only generates the HTML output (and under some circunstances JS, CSS and other file types). If you mean to develop desktop applications in PHP, then you want to take a look at PHP-GTK (http://gtk.php.net/). If you mean to just convert a script PHP into binary code for whatever purpose you want, then probably you should be after the Roadsend compiler http://www.roadsend.com/home/index.php?pageID=compiler or any other similar solution (if they exist - ???). However, assuming that your solely goal is to make PHP run faster, the first and best step you can take is to "improve your application and database design" and "optimize your PHP code". Then, you can take further steps, such as installing an opcode cache, or accelerator (Zend Optimizer, eAccelerator, XCache, etc).
