I’ve decided to code some applications in PHP that are supposed to run offline in the user’s machine. However, I can’t seem to find an user-friendly install wizard to create a local server in where the script will run. Any ideas?
PS: Here’s an example of what I want: http://www.nolapro.com
You could go to the old school route and try using PHP-GTK.

or you could go the route that I believe has much more promise: Adobe AIR + PHP
It has the added bonus of running on any platform!

There’s also a new player in the game, Appcelerator. It lets you write your code in whatever language you want (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc) and compile it for the platform of choice (iPhone, Android, Windows, OSX). Parts of it are still beta, but it looks unbelievably slick & cool, and there are lots of tutorial videos. http://www.appcelerator.com
