I think first you need to define what "large" means.
Secondly, PHP is really meant to be used within HTML code, the page getting
a .php extension instead of .html or .htm.
PHP operates server-side, away from prying eyes when done properly, and its
work is never intended to be seen. Its output is HTML back to the visitor.
There is no PHP code to be seen in the Source View.
If you're looking to compile PHP into an executable, it CAN be done, a la
the way HTML executables are made into executables. But it doesn't really
gain you anything. www.PHP.net or www.w3schools.com would explain the above
intent of PHP in much greater detail. It's old,, it's free, it's current and
it's powerful when used properly.
A clarification of what it is you expect PHP to do would probably get you
much more targeted responses.
HTH,
