I'm not even sure how to ask the question. Maybe it's several questions.
Supposing one wants to run a local apache server that supports a
PHP-based system interface, things like file editing, file management,
archive support, and various other applications. For some things like
file management it may need root privileges. It also needs to be "safe"
so that the applicable parts of it can run on a public server. Are
there approaches to this that have been successfully used in the past?
One major advantage of sticking with PHP is that my fairly large
codebase won't need to be rewritten. The html/browser paradigm is
perfectly adequate to all the things that I can foresee doing. On
Windows there is this thing, http://www.zzee.com/php-gui/
What it does is let you plug your PHP browser-based application into a
stripped-down browser so it runs as a Windows application without any
apache involvement. But I wish to do this on Linux.
Failing both those approaches, can anyone recommend a good GUI package
that supports PHP applications, preferrably something gtk-based?
Sorry this is such a scattered question. Basically I'm working on
building a system-independent PHP-based system front-end, parts of which
can be made available on a public web server.
