Hello. PHP is a good web programming language. Can someone tell me if one can use it as a management tool, for instance in a school or office without an internet connection or in any businness that does not need an internet connection to execute management tasks?

Thanks you to show me examples

Sure I don't see why you can't. I'm not exactly sure what you are planning to do with it, but whatever it is you can probably do it within a CLI script, that is, if you are not printing stuff to a browser. More here: [us3.php.net...]

For example to manage bank clients.
Special languages are used for this and i wonder if PHP can do the same tasks. Infact because this language(PHP) mainly runs in a browser, is this not a serious limitation for an offline application?

When I go to ask my bank account balance for instance, if I provide a cheque, bank staff can among other things see if the picture they have in their database matches the person i am, they can see how much money i have, etc...

Assuming PHP is the only language I understand the most, can I use it to do all the previous programming?

Thanks

Sure it could handle intranet applications for a local network. It would work just the same but wouldn't be accessible from the outside world.
