<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <ul><li>PHP4Delphi provides a visual development framework for creating custom PHP extensions using <a href="/facts/Delphi_(software)/sUFUXQ8r">Delphi</a>. <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a> extension, in the most basic of terms, is a set of instructions that is designed to add functions to PHP.</li> <li>PHP4Delphi also allows executing the PHP scripts within a Delphi program directly from file or memory. <a href="/facts/Global_variable/XWF9zC08">Global variables</a> can be read, write, and result values set.</li> <li>PHP4Delphi allows embedding the PHP interpreter into a Delphi application to extend and customize the application without needing to <a href="/facts/Compiler/WNfCDFJe">recompile</a> it.</li></ul> <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2> <p>PHP4Delphi is organized into several subprojects: </p> <h3>PHP scripting</h3> <p>PHP4Delphi allows executing <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a> scripts within a Delphi program using TpsvPHP component directly without a <a href="/facts/Web_server/A4GS6thA">web server</a>. It is a scripting for applications (like <a href="/facts/Visual_Basic_for_Applications/aXrmxDlI">Visual Basic for Applications</a> (VBA) for <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Office/faD8vYG0">Microsoft Office</a>) that enables writing client-side <a href="/facts/Graphical_user_interface/wBlQFWDP">graphical user interface</a> (GUI) applications or server-side PHP support in case if you are developing PHP enabled <a href="/facts/Web_server/A4GS6thA">web servers</a>. One of the goals behind it was to prove that PHP is a capable general-purpose scripting language that is suited for more than Web applications only. With PHP4Delphi you can use Delphi forms instead of web-forms, pass parameters to script directly. </p> <h3>PHP extensions development framework</h3> <p>The visual development framework gives the possibility to create custom PHP extensions using Delphi. </p> <h3>PHP4Applications</h3> <p>PHP4Applications allows integrating <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a> in any application.
