Hello there. I have been looking and finally seem to have found a way to create desktop applications which include PHP. I am not a big fan of JavaScript, so I'd rather use PHP instead :) But, How do I get started? Regards, Ingwie.

You go visit tidesdk.org the new open source home of the Desktop SDK.
Thanks! I donwnloaded it, and unzipped it the way it displayed me to. I still only see the default stuff, and couldn't find how to change the SDK Version, as they said on their website. I am on MacOS.
The TideSDK Team is looking to ensure there is great documentation to help get you going in PHP. At this point, documentation efforts have been more focused on the API docs initially. We will be doing more in our "guides" to provide some focused tutorials. Until we have these together, I am able to point you to a few resources in the short term that can help you:
https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Using+Titanium+Desktop+with+PHP
http://www.slideshare.net/benramsey/desktop-apps-with-php-and-titanium
For PHP to work, you need to ensure the PHP module is available to your runtime by including it in your manifest for your app. Instructions for the installation of the 1.2.0.RC4 are available here http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/09/introducing-titanium-desktop-sdk-1-2-release-candidate-4.html
If you follow the instructions an unarchive the sdk in the proper folder for your system it should work fine.
