Electron with PHP

---

Make desktop application using Electron and PHP.

Requirements

• Node 9.0.0 or higher

Setup

• Run npm install in the root directory
• To start the application run npm start

PHP

• PHP 8.2 is included, you can replace the php folder with your desired php version.

!Important - In the php.ini it is necessary to have the extension_dir = "ext" uncommented, otherwise it will load the extension from the location you have installed PHP locally

Communication between electron main thread and PHP

As of now, you can not access function that will help you trigger events on the main thread.
You can still use javascript though.
