Desktop PHP or wapache alternatives?

Question

PHP

Hello everyone)
I recently read about such a tool as wapache.sourceforge.net. Those. it allows you to run PHP scripts as a windowed application. In this case, Internet Explorer is used for rendering.
Of course, PHP is not the best language for desktop applications. But still, I'm interested in alternative tools like wapache with the following requirements: cross-platform, using WebKit for rendering, and being able to use the latest versions of PHP.
