PHP4Delphi is a Visual Development Framework for creating custom PHP Extensions using Delphi. PHP extensions, in the most basic of terms, are sets of instructions that is designed to add functionality to PHP.

PHP, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated WebPages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.

PHP4Delphi also allows executing the PHP scripts within the Delphi program directly from file or memory. You can read and write global PHP variables and set the result value.

PHP4Delphi allows you to embed the PHP interpreter into your application, written in any programming language so you can extend and customize the application without having to recompile it.

PHP4Delphi is organized into the following subprojects:

• PHP scripting (using PHP in Delphi applications). PHP4Delphi allows to execute the PHP scripts within the Delphi program directly without a WebServer.


• PHP extensions development framework (using Delphi to extend PHP functionality). Visual Development Framework gives possibility to create custom PHP Extensions using Delphi.


• PHP4Applications (integrate PHP in any application).Supports C#, C, C++, Visual Basic, VBA, Delphi, Delphi .NET, Visual Basic .NET, etc.
