PHP compiler for windows
I am looking for a PHP compiler like phc that I can use on my windows machine hopefully with a GUI (!). It needs to work with PHP version 5.3.x. A freely available compiler is what I am looking for.
I have had no luck in finding something that works with php 5.3 and that is actively being developed.
A quick question about PHP compilers. If I compiled my php code would I need to run that compiled script in the same PHP version? Or can I use version 5.2.x, 5.1.x, if compiled with 5.3.x?
Secondly, how does embedded PHP in HTMl work when it is compiled?
Apologies for these nooby questions but today is the first day of attempting to compile PHP code, but I can't find a suitable compiler yet!
