Hi gang:
I've heard that php can be used for more than web programming, but I am not
aware of specifically how that can be done. So, let me ask directly -- can
php be used to create a Mac Application?
If so, how?
Probably the most well-known method is php-gtk:
http://gtk.php.net/
I must be getting too old for this stuff.
I'm used to an IDE where you write code, run, and debug it. When you
get it where you want and want to create an application, then you
compile the code and there's an application -- a stand alone
application -- done!
But I don't see anything like that there. In fact, if you review
their applications link, you'll see that they don't have any
applications either. It's all "There's not any applications in this
category ... Maybe you would like to add one?" Well... a "Hello
world" would be nice.
I downloaded and installed the MacPorts too, but that leaves me
wanting for a simple Hello World example as well, but nothing there
either.
In both cases they are very verbose about command line stuff, but
short on how to use php to create an application. I just don't see
it. Maybe my terminology is not correct. My applications stand by
themselves and run when clicked -- no command line is needed.
To me it looks like another one of those other things that everyone
says is great, but I sit here saying "Hey, I don't know about you
guys, but the Emperor's naked."
Cheers,
tedd
