Is this theorically possible using PHP
Hi I am relatively new to PHP but I would like to know if I can create a desktop application that shows reports and forms that use MySQL database and will not be viewed on the internet, but instead only used by a network? I would like to create a golf tournament scoring system solely using PHP and MySQL. Any suggestions about a program to use for page layout and setup. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL on one of your network comupters, and then allow computers with ip from range 192.168.0.xxx to view that page you will create. You can also use some full-package-system like FoxServer (I don't know if that's the correct name), which will install the proper modules automatically.
You don't need the program for page layout and stuff, create the www page and the browser will do the work.

Thanks for the input
Hi, thank you for the input. If I understand you correctly.....pages should be created in html format whether its being viewed on the internet or not. Im reading as many posts as possible to help me decide my best options.
Re: Thanks for the input
Yes, that's very simple solution, and you don't have to learn desktop applications builders or stuff like this, the PHP with MySQL got all what you need to do that kind of job.Star Watcher wrote: If I understand you correctly.....pages should be created in html format whether its being viewed on the internet or not.
BTW: This GTK+ which patrikG wrote about is also very usefull and powerfull :]
