I have developed a PHP-MySQL web application, which is a school-based project. My client wants this application to be converted into a .exe file such that it can be installed on his desktop and use it.

How the PHP website can be converted to a .exe file and can it be run without the need of a database/server software?

Please advice.

The convenient solution is not to convert the website to .exe. I think it will be better if you have portable server/php/mysql and make the website work from a usb or CD with autorun.
