You can use PHP to execute code on a server. The users usually need a internet browser to interact with your programs (calculators, etc). If you want to write a stand alone windows GUI program it is best to use, Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, or C++. Express editions are free for download from Microsoft’s site.

PHP has become one of the most popular languages for programming on the web.
The first thing you need to start writing PHP programs is the PHP runtime. The PHP runtime is what will interpret your script when a page is requested, and output the results as HTML to the web browser. Most hosting companies already have PHP installed, so you can probably skip this step.
However, if you are hosting the site on your own web server, you will need to download the PHP runtime here http://www.php.net/downloads.php. Depending on the type of web server you have (Apache, IIS, OS X Server), the installation instructions can vary pretty widely, so I will just direct you to the official installation instructions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php
