 ZZEE PHP GUI
ZZEE PHP GUI runs PHP scripts on Windows like they are usual programs.
Now you can rapidly develop Windows GUI applications by employing the same
skills and code that you are using for building your webserver PHP scripts.
Consider an example: your client needs a utility to automate something on their computer.
You realize that the best way of doing this is to use PHP
- you create a simple GUI entry form in HTML,
where they select a few options, and employ one of the many PHP extensions to do the actual job.
However the major stumbling block is the installation of the script on their computer.
Your client will need to download and install WAMP,
then make sure the webserver is secure and not accessible from the internet,
then run it,
then place the script somewhere into a "webroot" directory of the webserver,
and then type a URL like "http://localhost/script.php" in their webbrowser.
ZZEE PHP GUI solves these problems altogether.
It sets up in seconds and works out-of-the-box.
Just click on a PHP file - and ZZEE PHP GUI will run the script in webbrowser/webserver mode.
PHP files or links to them don't have to reside in a special "webroot" directory,
they can be in any folder, on the desktop or in the Start Menu.
And ZZEE PHP GUI is secure - it doesn't use TCP/IP at all and doesn't interfere
with any webservers or firewalls.

ZZEE PHP GUI vs WAMP
ZPG and WAMP aim at different niches. While WAMP is mainly for the web, to create
a website on your computer, allowing other people to connect to it, ZPG is for the
desktop, and is about security, being easy to use and to run local PHP scripts.
The table below outlines the difference between these approaches.
ZPG and WAMP can work on the same computer, and because ZPG doesn't use any TCP ports,
there will be no conflicts.

WAMP |
| Launching scripts |
You can launch a script by double-clicking on it |
You have to type a URL for the script into the webbrowser or create a bookmark for it |
| Where scripts need to be located |
Scripts can be in any directory or drive of your computer |
Scripts have to reside in webserver's Document Root or aliases |
| Webserver security |
ZPG's webserver doesn't use TCP/IP and nobody can connect to it |
Running a webserver on your computer is a major threat and you need to take all measures to secure it |
| Webbrowser possibilities and security |
All options Internet Explorer can provide are turned on, including Javascript, scripting ActiveX, etc. By default the browser is blocked from surfing the net, so it is not exposed to possibly malicious websites. |
If you need access to ActiveX or other high-risk options, you have to create a trusted zone in your browser for your WAMP webserver address and lift permissions for this zone |
| Turning off browser interface |
You can turn off the interface of the built-in browser, and your PHP script will look like a generic Windows application |
You are still confined to the webbrowser interface, taking up space and giving the user the Back and Refresh buttons, that are not welcome in some applications |
| Memory consumption |
ZPG webserver is inside the same process as ZPG browser and will go out of memory immediately after you close the window |
The webserver will stay in memory permanently |
