How to create a cross-platform application with an embedded web server and PHP?

Question

Windows

The question is already in the title.
Are there tools for creating cross-platform applications with a graphical interface, but in such a way that the interface is in html, and the program code is in PHP?
Moreover, the option of installing a web server and php on a PC is not considered. What is needed is a portable application with a web server and PHP "inside" and with program code in PHP.
The qt-php variant was considered, however in it (perhaps I am mistaken) the interface needs to be programmed separately dynamically.

TideSDK allows this magic:

Maybe this is what you need.

Answer 2

php has its own server out of the box.
What do you understand by cross-plot? php for different cases, will you compile?)
Any web application is already cross-platform. As I understand it, you need to solve the problem of local launch, and it just depends very much on the platform.

Answer 3

Under windows, small gui applications in php are conveniently written in PHP Devel Studio
