I have the basics of PHP scripting down. I can use it to create forms on websites, to create functions on sites that do certains things, to use it for includes and anything else in general to do on a site. I'm also learning how to use it with SQL right now.

But how do I go about making full fledged programs with PHP? I mean programs that you run off an .exe file or something like that.

I know there are a ton of programs out there that are probably better for this than PHP (I'm thinking of studying Ruby), but I like the simplicity of PHP and I am already familiar with it.

Thank you

Yea your right there are much better alternatives than php for a desktop applications...

But you can check out bamcompile if you want to compile your php scripts into EXEs.
 
May be php is not the best option for exe app.

But if you really want to get the power of basic PHP, learn how to use curl_setopt () and regular expressions..

Online it's all about interaction so by using curl library you can interact with other websites.

To learn about creating any program just take notes of all those things you hate doing manually like searching on google for inurl:register "powered by pligg".

Instead of copying and pasting urls returned just use use few curl_setopt options to download the page, and parse the results you need. Repeat the process by using any kind of loop you want. HINT use sleep function btn queries.

You cannot make exe apps with php.

you can make command line and PHP-GTK (desktop) apps with it, though.

There's a few downsides to php: you cannot multi-thread it, you can't multi-process it unless you fork it, a process control library is available for forking but only on UNIX-boxes.

The forking and command line features puts it on the same level as perl, they all come from the c bloodline anyway.

I use the command line to run millions of queries, it's quite stable.

So which is the best program to create exe applications if not for PHP?
 
Okay say I want to make an alternative to SEnuke or Scrapebox, would I be able to do it with PHP alone?
 
VB is really hard but you will be able to customize it and make a great app
similar to SEnuke and Scrapebox!

but it will take you somebit of time before you are at that level

The answer to that would be ' No '. Sorry, but php doesn't work like that. It is a server side language that operates from it's own functions and crosses with mysql for database operations for its main use. I can and have programmed server scripts and applications that will pull mearly any featured task but, it will not work as a stand alone application like an .exe file. It has to function within a server directory or else it won't pull, as the php source operators are based in the php language that is read through apache as a specific web server-to-browser system.
 
For online applications, uBot is becoming quite popular as a programming environment.

I tried this but get Access denied messages to the MySQL to my website. Any ideas how to get around that?

You need a database connect form included in your script, to access the database username, password, server path,( as it will NOT be localhost due to it being called from your server and not the user's pc ), and database name.

This should have the mysql query connecting to the database and then login/access information.
