I must apologise for the vagueness of this question, but I actually no idea of where my starting point should be here.
Among others, I know SQL & HTML/PHP/Javascript
I want to create a program that I can distribute amongst some peers which connects to a user-specified SQL server and generates a set of fixed reports. And I want my code (or a least the SQL) to be complied/hidden. I want this program to run on any Win 7+ client regardless of access to a local IIS or other server.
How I create an exe or other that runs a mini web server of sorts so that I can use PHP or even ASP/VB to connect to a SQL Server and display HTML reports in a web browser.
I know how to write what I need to access the server and build/display the reports, but I have no idea of where to start to make this work on a client machine without a webserver.
Any starting points to investigate will help me greatly.
