“I donâ€™t thing that there are people out there that really want to do windows programming on php.”

Actually, we run PHP on Windows for our site. I’ve run it in both environments and I actually prefer it on Windows, myself. Regardless, this stuff is pretty neat. I’ve used the printing features myself and it can be very nice to send dynamically generated PDF files directly to a printer rather than to the screen or filesystem.

@timothy,

I’ve never read those articles (thanks for the links). I am a professional php developer and I mostly work in a linux environment. I have recently started to venture into windows servers (specifically running PHP scripts on them) and I felt that there aren’t enough articles on this topic and I wanted to share my findings.

Ryan, Zoro, dzhairy — sorry, but I think you’re wrong. Sometimes you just can’t escape Windows. And if you have PHP installed (perhaps you’re deploying on a *nix box but developing locally on Windows– a common setup) then why not do quick and dirty tasks in a language you’re already familiar and comfortable with?

More and more functionality is expected out of today’s web-based applications. PHP isn’t just generating webpages, but complex business-critical applications. Depending on the environment and your needs, it might make perfect sense to store configuration information such as database credentials in the Windows registry, or print incoming invoices to a printer connected to the server in real-time.

I am curious though as to how much influence these articles in PHP|Architect played in this blog post:

An Introduction to PHP’s Printer Functions (September 2003)
Printing from PHP (June 2007)
Writing a Windows Service in PHP (September 2007)
Reusable Shell Scripting (July 2008)

Looks like it will be better to use Jscript for such things. It is already present in all operating systems higher than Win2k. Letâ€™s use PHP to do some other stuff.
