title: Using PHP in Node-Webkit
body: <p>Ive built an AngularJS application over the last several months that utilizes a MySQL database  for its data. This data is fetched by Angular making calls to PHP and PHP returns JSON strings etc. </p>
  
  <p>The issue is once this application is running inside node-webkit, none of the php works, so all of the content areas are empty. I assume (though the documentation on this issue is null and so i have no confirmation) this happens because Node-webkit is a client-side application framework and therefor wont run server-side languages like php. Is there a way to expand node webkit to run php and other server side languages? </p>
  
  <p>I have done my best to find an answer to this question before posting, but documentation for this is nonexistent, and all of the information I have found about node-webkit talks about installing node on your server and installing npms for MySQL and having angular make calls to node. This defeats the purpose of the application entirely as it is designed so that the exe/deb/rpm/dmg can run and you can set up a database with any cloud database provider and be ready to go. Not ideal if you have to buy a vps just to run this one thing.</p>
  
  <p>I have to assume this is possible in some way. i refuse to believe that everyone with an nw application hard codes all their data.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
