How to create .exe file using PHP

[owens]

Hi all,

Can somebody tell me how to create an exe file so that the user downloads it from the website and installs the intended application on his machine by running the downloaded exe file?
I want to create the .exe using PHP.

Thanks in advance,
Owens Jesse.

an exe is a compiled set of code, specific to one operating system - to write an exe on the fly you'd need to read up on compilers, it's not a php question

the only solution i can think of is to have a compiler tool you can run from the command line, and execute it using php's [man]exec[/man] function
