What you say is true but the key to your statement is "primarily". It is possible to start a php application, for example, on a windows box with a command like;
c:>/apache/php/php.exe /batch/somescript.php and the command will run outside a web server (Equivalent available for unix, even as a "&" detached process) there is also a poorly supported project to link the GTK+ toolkit to php (so buyer beware, not for the faint of heart). Check out http://gtk.php.net/resources.php for a list of resources. This would provide the following list of functions which should run in a distributed environment thru X-windows (not a Bill Gates product) but probably lacks enough security to use over the internet; GTK+ Widgets and Objects Windows & Dialogs GtkWindow GtkDialog GtkColorSelectionDialog GtkFileSelection GtkFontSelectionDialog GtkInputDialog Containers GtkHBox GtkVBox GtkTable GtkToolbar GtkHandleBox GtkNotebook GtkFrame GtkAspectFrame GtkFixed GtkPacker GtkLayout GtkScrolledWindow GtkViewport GtkEventBox GtkAlignment GtkHButtonBox GtkVButtonBox GtkHPaned GtkVPaned Labels & Buttons GtkLabel GtkAccelLabel GtkButton GtkCheckButton GtkToggleButton GtkRadioButton Data Entry Widgets GtkEntry GtkText GtkSpinButton GtkOptionMenu GtkCombo GtkHScale GtkVScale Lists & Trees GtkCList GtkCTree GtkList GtkListItem GtkTree GtkTreeItem Tooltips GtkTooltips GtkTipsQuery Menus & Menu Bars GtkMenuBar GtkMenu GtkMenuItem GtkCheckMenuItem GtkRadioMenuItem GtkTearoffMenuItem Graphical Widgets GtkDrawingArea GtkImage GtkPixmap GtkPreview GtkCurve GtkGammaCurve Misc.

I haven't seen similar functions described in the manual for PHP. Have I just missed them? Or are those facilities not available in PHP? If they are available, I'd appreciate being pointed to the documentation. Thanks.
