Is it possible to embedd PHP as a scripting language into a desktop application

Question

I know that my customers know PHP because i'm working on a PHP Tool (Running as a MFC Desktop Program)

Is it possible to embedd the PHP interpreter in a general purpose way like Python, Ruby, Lua or Javascript? And if yes - is it a hack or is there a clean solution.

Answer 1

Can you rewrite the language using PHP-GTK? That's how I make Win32 PHP apps.

If you're running .NET, then you need to check out Phlanager, and then the answer is definitely yes.

Finally, there's various PHP compilers that can compile PHP code into DLLs that your apps can use natively. see: http://phpcompiler.org/
