To convert a PHP and MySQL web project into a standalone desktop application, you
can follow these steps:

1. Convert Your PHP Project to Work Locally


Ensure your PHP project can run without requiring a live server. You will need a
local server environment.
Use tools like XAMPP or WAMP to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your PC. These
will act as the local server for your PHP project.
2. Bundle Your Project with a Local Server
To turn your project into a standalone application, you need to package it with a
local server. Here are two common approaches:

Option 1: Use Portable Web Servers

Use portable servers like USBWebserver or PHP Desktop, which come with a built-in
PHP and MySQL environment.
Package your PHP files with one of these servers.
Configure the server to automatically start your project when launched.
Option 2: Electron + PHP

Electron is a framework that allows web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
to run as desktop applications.
You can use Electron to create a GUI for your PHP project, while the backend (PHP
and MySQL) runs locally.
Steps:

Install Node.js and Electron.


Create an Electron project and use the index.php as the entry point.
Integrate PHP by running a local PHP server in the background using Node.js.
In the Electron renderer process, make HTTP requests to the local PHP server to
interact with your MySQL database.
3. Package the Application
Once everything works together (PHP, MySQL, and the Electron or portable server),
you can package the project.
For Electron, use electron-packager or electron-builder to create an executable
file (.exe for Windows or .app for macOS).
For portable servers, zip the folder, including the server and your project, and
provide a script (like a batch file) to run the application.
4. SQLite as an Alternative (Optional)
If MySQL is too heavy for a desktop app, consider switching your database from
MySQL to SQLite. SQLite is a lightweight, serverless database, ideal for desktop
applications.
Tools Summary:
XAMPP/WAMP (for local development)
PHP Desktop or Electron (for packaging)
MySQL or SQLite (for database)
Example using PHP Desktop:
Download PHP Desktop.
Copy your PHP project into the www folder of PHP Desktop.
Configure the settings.json to point to your PHP project.
Run phpdesktop-chrome.exe (it will open as a desktop application).
