PHP Compiler
I'm wondering about this compiler: http://www.priadoblender.com/index.php? ... &cslot_1=2. With this, you can just package the extensions with your program and write pure PHP code, with no changes (unlike the RoadSend thing).

I did try it. Seems to work like a champ with PHP-GTK programs. The .exe file itself has about 17kb overhead because of the PHP interpreter (or something along those lines), and the extensions are just included with the package. Seems really cool. I'm just wondering if anyone knows some of it's faults. For instance, I found one: it doesn't understand include() and require(). All the code must be in one file.

Yeah, that's a pretty big hassle. I found a GUI frontend for this compiler (it has command line interface by default), and the frontend has the option of merging all the includes into one file. I think that results in parse errors thoughfeyd wrote:kinda sucks, but isn't a huge hassle. Keeps speed up tooevilmonkey wrote:I found one: it doesn't understand include() and require().

I also found a little modification that gets rid of the DOS window when running the newly created executable.
