I think its fair to say that PHP is definitely not a standalone
friendly language, the best effort I have seen is something like
Phar format but even then you need to bring the kitchen sink to
each client and its not a format built into PHP itself (shame).
It's sad that there is not anything like a small lightweight
portable vm you can run around with, there is a project called
Slingshot in Ruby/Rails which is the idea, a "web browser" with
your embedded web app. I think this issue is what Adobe AIR is
trying to showcase.
If the code is possibly doable where it is just really data access,
you might look to port your code to Javascript and the client:
Firefox with GoogleGears installed.

You can seriously get away with writting a full blown data app w/
just a single html file and few lines of Javascript. Im not sure
but I think trying for a single "master" table and then having some
mechanism for getting all the "slave" sqlite databases and merging
(or copy to master) is a piece that is missing for this solution.

Hi All –
I’ve developed a web-based audition registration application for
musical organizations (All-State Chorus, Regional Band, etc). The
application has been well received, but some organizations are too
small to benefit from the web orientation and have asked if the
application could be provided in a single-user version without
hosting.
I’m exploring how to rewrite the app in PHP5 using sqlite as the
backend database, but haven’t figured out how to package the code
so that it can be loaded onto another PC without the need to
install and configure an Apache server for each user. My
prospective clients will not be PC-literate beyond medium-weight
spreadsheet usage.
Any and all thoughts are most appreciated!
Best Regards -
Rick
