.exe App using PHP

Post by tecktalkcm0391 »

What would I need to use to make an application that really all it does it goes to https://site.com/applicationname, and pulls the pages from that and show what you would see on the internet in your browser? I know your going to say why would you do that, but I'm just curious.

well if I drag the link to my desktop and doubleclick it - it basicly does that, doesn't it? Why would you need an app for that?

You have to elaborate.

You mean like a desktop application? Or a web application that borrows other web pages?

You can use file_get_contents() so long as proper php.ini settings are configured.

I thin you're better off with just a CLICKME.html file or something with a meta redirect in it. That would work on all operating systems and wouldn't require any fancy software other than a browser.

PHP/GTK is something to look at though.
