You´ll need to learn a new programming language. like C# or C++. – Daan May 26 '14 at 11:43

Seems like some projects exists but I never try it myself... https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/ – fluminis May 26 '14 at 11:44

@Daan Well, [not strictly true](https://code.google.com/p/phpdesktop/) but yeah, either of those langs would be streets ahead of PHP for desktop – Clive May 26 '14 at 11:45

What you want to accomplish is not a straightforward process. The software/technologies that powers your site is designed for its task (websites) while most desktop applications are designed for theirs (applications). It's true the lines have gotten blurry over time because the web was feeble at first and has evolved tremendously now being able to support full blown web-applications of its own. But the differences in structure / design / communications are still big enough to make conversion from one to another pretty difficult. – Mihai Stancu May 26 '14 at 12:10

This means that a lot of things need to be considered when designing the initial application to ensure that it can be used as either desktop or local application. Usually this entails breaking your application into 3 components -- the desktop interface, the web interface and the server. Checkout platforms such as Adobe Air -- they use HTML/CSS/JS to build user interfaces -- with this or other similar projects you could reuse some or most of your web interface when creating your desktop interface. – Mihai Stancu May 26 '14 at 12:12

PHP has it's own library for desktop applications. You can read about it here
