Php mysql for desktop applications
This is my first post.

I know this topic has been discussed before in this forum, but since I couldnt find any new 

posts regarding this and I didnt quite find the answers I am looking for, I am posting the 

query here.

I have been looking around the web, to collect information about using php-mysql for 

desktop application. i have searched the web and done it more thoroughly in this forum.

I have collected things of interest and many things remain that I need to know.

BTW am a new programmer and doesnt have much knowledge about these things. Thus my 

questions can be a bit layman.

What I came to know is that, desktop applications can be built with php.

i would like to keep the debates aside as to whether its the best combiantion for desktop 

application.

Now I have come across many frameworks/tools to do the job.

These are -

php-gtk2

php-webinder

appcelerator titanium desktop

easyphp

phpdock

quickphp

innosetup

silverlight

adobe air

RIA

etc!

etc!

Now I mainly need to build a business accounting and maintenance application. It requires a 

database.
Thus I have planned to do it in php-mysql.

Now my quesries are - 

1. Does php-gtk2 support database handling?
2. Is it recommended to go for php-gtk2 since no update has been released for a long time?

3. Will php-webinder be better that php-gtk2?
4. People have suggested Appcelerator Titanium Desktop, but I cant seem to find any 

documentation for desktop development. All are for mobile platform.
5. Which one should I go for windows binaries or browser based? I have an inclination for 

browser based one.
6. Can I use css, javascript/jquery with these tools?

7. Maybe sometime in the future I need to use some kind of web service from this app, so will that be possible easily?

I will post further queries as I get along.

But plz plz help me by answering these questions in a detailed manner, as the fate of the project depends on these questions.

Thank you.
