PortableWebAp Application Server can run PHP5 as a desktop application. It doesn't require an install and will run from a hard drive, USB, DVD or CDROM. And most important is that you can customize the icons and file names as desired and distribute it to your customers.

To be honest, as a PHP developer, developing a desktop application on my own was always going to be a challenge and there were moments when my thoughts thrashed about trying to produce the killer application.

For PHP developers like me, this seemed to be the key that could open up a whole host of new possibilities. Unfortunately, any source code deployed would have been easily accessible unless some form of code obfuscation was employed e.g. CodeLock.

It seems that currently, the end user installation will spill your applications source code out into the open. Without any form of source code protection, this is surely a big disadvantage. One possible workaround is to use an encryption/obfuscation tool such as <a href="http://www.linkah.com/codelock" rel="nofollow">Code Lock</a>. Some more info on PhpDock:

  • PHP5 comes as standard, but you can replace it with PHP4.
  • SQLite is also installed as standard, but MySQL can be packaged.
