title: Is it possible to bundle/ship PHP+MySQL in standalone executable?
body: <p>I am trying to create an application that has a sender and receiver. The entire application is only meant to be used on a LAN and can also possibly be done almost completely through the browser.</p>
  
  <p>The "sender" part is an application of some sort that will need to run a local server on the person's computer and allow for php,html,css,js, and mysql to run. </p>
  
  <p>On the "receiver" end, it is simply a person's browser accessing a webpage being served up from the "sender" application.</p>
  
  <p>I have been looking into nodejs as a means of accomplishing the server part of this...but I am not sure if I can ship it as an exe with mysql and php installed and allow it to be execd from php. I am aware of being able to install these extensions using npm, but I want to ship a whole exe to the end user and not have them install node on their own.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance.</p>
