phpdesktop VS msgraph-sdk-php

I am a bit surprised by the critical tone in the comments here. Phpdesktop [1] is, for example, a very nice application, and the ability of php to just make some simple scripts on the go and have something that works, is wonderful (compared to js where you often have to build etc, the threshold of getting started on a new computer is high). I have several times needed to make simple applications with a database, and php is perfect for that usecase. Making it simpler to share these applications to non-technical users for offline use is nice

I’ve been using PHP Desktop for a while for internal tools. https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop

There's a project to make php apps -- https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop -- but it doesn't have Mac support yet. Alas.

Since we're in the webdev subreddit, I suppose you will use a webstack. Here is what I have been using in an institution with a hellish ton of xp computers: PHPDesktop ChromeV47 . PHP is not mandatory, since it basically searches for and index.* file, which can be a html file with a lot of js. Use jquery with ajax calls to make your life easier for API requests and other stuff of old era JS (I dont remember if it supports fetch api and newish QOL changes). You basically develop a web app in a chrome wrapper. Works just fine on oldies.

re-write it as a desktop app, you could use php desktop to save time.

PHP Desktop seems to use 7.2.12, which reached end of life on late 2020. I wouldn't put my eggs in that basket.

Ever since I found PHP desktop (https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop), I've been having a blast playing around with it. I've created my own "desktop applications" that I use daily. It's quick to build something I need to run locally (on Windows) vs learning/building an actual Windows application. Also I find PHP easier to build MVPs over Javascript (i.e. Electron). I'm curious if anybody else is building anything using PHP desktop? What kind of applications/services did you build or using with it?

Go to this repo https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop by Czarek Tomczak, then search for downloads. As I’m working with Windows, I used PHP Desktop v57.0 for Windows release (https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop/releases/tag/chrome-v57.0-rc). Download the zip file and extract the content wherever you want. Rename the folder as you prefer, you could use the name of your website. Let’s call it Myapp. This is a sort of container with a self-contained web server (Mongoose) and PHP 7.1.3. For example, launching the exe file called phpdesktop-chrome.exe will “read” what’s inside the Myapp/www folder. That’s where you will have to move your entire website to.

There's also phpdesktop which is akin to Electron and other such things.

looks like there is an SDK, which is usually the preferred route https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php

The official Microsoft Graph PHP SDK works just fine for us. I don't see much use for a Symfony specific library, to be honest, since mapping the Graph query results to database entities will likely be individual for each project.

Regarding basic auth - you're covered there, SMTP is the sole protocol where Basic Authentication will continue to work with no planned end date. However, there is a Graph SDK for PHP in case you want to check out doing things the 'modern' way - https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php - I should note I have no experience with it.

Try to use this library: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php

For Azure AD, I'd recommend the combination of https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client for the authentication part (getting the token) and the Microsoft Graph SDK for then using the token to get information about the user https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php

This is my first time using the Microsoft Graph SDK for PHP and I'm trying to programmatically create and assign tasks to users in my directory (Generally what's described here). I might just be getting overwhelmed reading through all the documentation so quickly but I feel like I am missing or misunderstanding something.
