As php has no way of handling Windows API calls, I don't believe there's a way to do what you want. At least not in the way I take it you mean.

There are a few php compilers out there...

GTK 2 is in the works now too and should be done any day:

You can also use RoadSend PHP Compiler, commercial, but it can package the files staticly, so no includes for the user, makes the EXE quiet big, but using UPX on highest setting makes it lose 90%~ of the size increase( IE 6 MB file with includes turns into 1MB~).
