A scripting or script language is a programming language for a special run-time environment that automates the execution of tasks, the tasks could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, usage of the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. PTSource PHP-Hum allows PHP programmers to build native Windows applications. It wraps Windows APIS in a lightweight manner making all easy-to-use, so that program creation is simple, quick and fun. It allows PHP programmers to easily build native Windows applications, producing quick and rewarding results with minimum effort. Even short scripts with a few dozen lines can generate a useful program, thanks to the power and flexibility of PHP. PTSource PHP-Hum it is integrated in the PTSource Developer Platform wich also brings HarbourMG, MingGW-w64, TCC, FASM, FreeBasic and FreePascal.
