PHP4Delphi is a visual development software framework for creating custom PHP extensions using Delphi. PHP extension, in the most basic terms, is a set of instructions that is designed to add functions to PHP.
Overview
- PHP4Delphi provides a visual development framework for creating custom PHP extensions using Delphi. PHP extension, in the most basic of terms, is a set of instructions that is designed to add functions to PHP.
- PHP4Delphi also allows executing the PHP scripts within a Delphi program directly from file or memory. Global variables can be read, write, and result values set.
- PHP4Delphi allows embedding the PHP interpreter into a Delphi application to extend and customize the application without needing to recompile it.
Structure
PHP4Delphi is organized into several subprojects:
PHP scripting
PHP4Delphi allows executing PHP scripts within a Delphi program using TpsvPHP component directly without a web server. It is a scripting for applications (like Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for Microsoft Office) that enables writing client-side graphical user interface (GUI) applications or server-side PHP support in case if you are developing PHP enabled web servers. One of the goals behind it was to prove that PHP is a capable general-purpose scripting language that is suited for more than Web applications only. With PHP4Delphi you can use Delphi forms instead of web-forms, pass parameters to script directly.
