I'm developing an order-of-service system in PHP and MySql to be run offline. I just wanted to distribute this system, but I do not know how to package it.
How do I create, type an installer of my system to install on other machines? Is there a program or helper for this?
Remembering that I would not like to expose files with source code.
Has anyone done this yet?
If it's for Windows, there's an alternative to using ExeOutput for PHP , it's paid for and has to create a .exe containing an internal browser based on Trident (Internet Explorer) or Chromium (Google Chrome), in the latest version only Chromium is available.
The executable generated by the software has an internal server that allows you to run PHP 5.4 through PHP 7.1 in the latest beta.
It has SQLite, since MySQL is under GPL and a commercial license is paid .
No software is approved for reverse engineering, although it is possible to hamper, nothing is guaranteed. ExeOutput for PHP has some security features and the main thing is that PHP will not be exposed as funcao.php in a folder, it is compiled, I do not know if it is the right word , next to .exe and only .exe is required to run the program.
However, it has disadvantages, in addition to being paid, it does not allow the user to access the same content in his browser, he can only access through the internal browser of .exe .
This is an option and is perhaps the least worst solution to this situation.
I've been involved in the beta phases of ExeOutput for PHP, but I do not have any direct links to the company. This is just an alternative that you can use if you believe it to be the best.
I do not have information on other software that can perform the same function, only ZZEE PHPExe but it is extremely obsolete in PHP version 5.2, and Bambalam that was also abandoned in PHP 4. However you can take a look < a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9046675/convert-a-php-script-into-a-stand-alone-windows-executable"> in this SOen publication that has other options.
In this field I advise you to use Wamp, for which you have access in this format.
See this link: link
With it, you emulate a web server, and you can install it on the client machine to use your application, and if you have a more robust server you can install and release network access.
