GTK is a toolkit for making GUI apps. In other words, it is the API that lets you program graphical programs - you tell it where to put buttons, windows, boxes, etc, and it handles the nitty-gritty for you. to make an exe with it, you normally would use C and gcc to compile the program. with php-gtk though, you run the code through the php cgi program (i believe).

PS Is that understandable or too technical? I can't tell anymore...need sleep...

There might be a php compiler out there, but php gtk is basicly a toolkit and library for making windows interfaces from parsed php...

nope, gtk is just a set of protocols for designing GUIs. your friend will need to have the php interpereter - PHP (to my knowledge) can't ever be compiled to .exe.
