ZZEE PHP GUI runs PHP scripts on Windows like they are usual programs. Now you can rapidly develop Windows GUI applications by employing the same skills and code that you are using for building your webserver PHP scripts.
Consider an example: your client needs a utility to automate something on their computer. You realize that the best way of doing this is to use PHP - you create a simple GUI entry form in HTML, where they select a few options, and employ one of the many PHP extensions to do the actual job.
However the major stumbling block is the installation of the script on their computer. Your client will need to download and install WAMP, then make sure the webserver is secure and not accessible from the internet, then run it, then place the script somewhere into a "webroot" directory of the webserver, and then type a URL like "http://localhost/script.php" in their webbrowser.
ZZEE PHP GUI solves these problems altogether. It sets up in seconds and works out-of-the-box. Just click on a PHP file - and ZZEE PHP GUI will run the script in webbrowser/webserver mode. PHP files or links to them don't have to reside in a special "webroot" directory, they can be in any folder, on the desktop or in the Start Menu. And ZZEE PHP GUI is secure - it doesn't use TCP/IP at all and doesn't interfere with any webservers or firewalls.
