PHP as a Desktop Programming Language

Tags:

desktop

I'm not much of a programmer, PHP is where I'm comfortable. And sometimes I find that I need to do things, such as arrange files or rename files on a mass scale on my computer. And I think I could do this with PHP but I can't of course.

So I was curious, is there a way I could run PHP files as kind of exe files.

EDIT: Fairly important point, using Windows.
