ExoPHP Framework

The Ultimate Cross-Platform Desktop Framework for PHP Developers

ExoPHP

Build Cross-Platform Desktop Applications with PHP

ExoPHP is a modern desktop application framework that enables PHP developers to create secure, lightweight and native-feeling desktop applications using PHP and web technologies.

Instead of learning a new programming language, developers can leverage their existing PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills to build desktop software for Windows and Linux.
