Question

i would like to know if there is a compiler for html and php?? thanks!

Answer 1

What would you compile HTML into?

As to PHP, Roadsend makes standalone PHP compilers for Unix and Windows:

If you want to use PHP with .Net, you may want to look into Phalanger:

Phalanger compiles PHP into MSIL bytecode, which can be translated into executables by Microsoft Visual Studio .Net. There is also a Visual Studio plug-in that allows you to develop in PHP with Visual Studio.

Answer 2

HTML is not a language or even a script, so no, there is not.

For PHP however, as I understand it, Zend puts out a package that compiles PHP to a bytecode file that is 'compiled' and then run in the Zend Virtual Machine (very similiar to the way Java works). The software that does this is expensive though.

Answer 3

There are no compilers for HTML or PHP. HTML is a markup language and is sent in straight text.

PHP is a programming language that it interpreted at runtime by the php interpreter plugged into your web server, usually Apache or IIS. The PHP code is no visible via the browser, only the rendered HTML is visible.
