Php isn't going to compile to an exe. If you want an exe, look into desktop apps with C# or use C.
Or just use on desktop as is via localhost.

Converting laravel web app into desktop app
I made a laravel web app program. Is it possible to change it into a .exe program? I've tried to use phpdesktop but the .exe won't run.
- laravel 8
- php 7.4.27

@jlrdw thanks for the answer. The problem is, the admin first want me to build a web app. So I decided to use laravel. But the time I finished the project, the admin want to convert it into an exe :''
is there any possible way to run the web app as desktop app? I did my research, I found there's a package called silviolleite/laravel-pwa to change laravel web app to be a laravel pwa. Could PWA run without serving localhost like the way we could run a web app? There's no database in my laravel program, but there's some library I use and require it via composer.

The problem is, the admin first want me to build a web app.
Just tell them this... "You asked me to make a web app so I did.", and then explain what's the difference between a web app and a desktop app.
