Is it possible to have an active desktop use PHP?
If so, can someone please point me to how to do it?
[BTW: I wasn't sure where to put this]

If you have a server that supports PHP running on your PC, you can just have it go to http://localhost/whatever.php. Otherwise, you're screwed.

Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

Well, there is a way around this. If you have an always-on internet connection you could upload the webpage to a server that does support it and make that your background.Originally posted by XSquared

I know it's a crazy idea, but at least in theory...
Although (at least at my aunt's house) the internet connection is active about one or two minutes after windows starts, and that could happen to you too.
Or you could leave the router on always, but I've found that if you don't make it "reboot" from time to time, internet becomes very slow. If you have an USB modem, I guess you can't fix that.

I say what I say, I mean what I mean.
IDE: emacs + make + gcc and proud of it.
That "works", except when you get a new IP address, because then your computer's connection gets shut down. (A)DSL gets connected when you log in (Windows XP) [as far as I know].Originally posted by -=SoKrA=-

Well hopefully you can get an ISP that gives static IP addresses but sadly some do not due to the lack of available numbers using the current system and the fact that numbers have to be bought in bulk. If your ISP doesn't give a static IP, see if they will let you pay extra for one.
