Graphic Interface Question

idontknow87

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to create desktop software applications with PHP. I am using Zend Studio for writing and editing my code.

My questions are:

What software can I use to add different graphical interface controls to application windows when attempting to create a PHP application?

And after this software, do I need an additional software program to create an '.exe' file or to create an installation file? If so, which software can I use for that?

Thanks for the help,

doesn't sound like you should be using php for this sounds more like a c job.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

What about JAVA for creating desktop applications? I have read a couple books on JAVA but I haven't read anything on C.

Would JAVA be just as easy as C?

well if you know java that certainly is an option.

Hi,

I did read a couple books on JAVA, but I did not get much out of that 😕

I did a speed read of them both, to see if I might want to later learn JAVA.

But I just saw a forum post on another site that is causing me to think that JAVA might not be what I am looking for :eek:

One guy was complaining that JAVA is not reliable for creating desktop apps. True or nay? :quiet:

And I think I understood that you cannot create .exe files with JAVA. Did I get that right or no? 😕

I guess what I'm asking is, knowing what you folks know about programming languages, which language would you choose to learn if you did not know any and if you wanted to create desktop apps and .exe files?

Thanks again,
