Not sure even if a smile can change history though.

But how it "runs" is different. A desktop app starts and has a message
loop that checks for user interaction. Responds and continues until
either program, user, or system terminates the processes. With the web
the php script receives its input via the web server, script runs and
does its stuff, creates the web page and terminates.
