WinBinder.org The native windows binding for php

Examples

Simple examples

Here is the minimum code required for a Windows application:

<?php

// Code sample: A Windows application with only three lines

include "../include/winbinder.php";                             // Include WinBinder library
wb_create_window(NULL, PopupWindow, "Hello world!", 480, 320);  // Create application window
wb_main_loop();                                                 // Enter message loop

?>

The code above will produce a normal application window with a system menu, a minimize button and a close button like the one below.

Here is a more useful example with around 110 lines of code. This script will simply look for a file using the standard Windows Open dialog box and display its name on the status bar. All controls and menu items are fully functional. Notice the tooltip displayed automatically under the About button.

Applications

WinBinder comes with its own utility to build source code snapshots and releases, build the DLLs, compile the WinBinder manual in CHM (HTML help) format, create the XML package information, build the setup automatically, and more. This tool is made with WinBinder, of course.
