Answer 1

First of all this is my first answer. :)

As of I know, PHP is an interpreted language in which only that executable file(php.exe in your php installation directory) is compiled and your code is only interpreted and no inbuilt functions like python.

If you still need compile as of in python, try HHVM a virtual machine

(never used that)

and there are some third party compilers like ZZEE which compiles into a GUI exe
