Maybe http://www.appcelerator.com/products...n-development/ will fit your needs? (has some quirks tho)

Note that the source will be revealed but should work fine working against a web api or whatever.

There are a number of programs that can emulate a web programming language in a computer application (Google is a great and easy way to find them). I however strongly recommended that you do not use them. The PHP is never actually compiled, it is either scripted at run time or runs on a virtual machine. Leave PHP for web applications, learn C++ for Windows programs. If you are only working on Windows, .NET can be used for both web and computer applications.

Java can be used for web (Java EE) and desktop (Java SE) apps aswell and it's also cross platform. For some reason it has bad reputation among webdeveloppers and I have no idea why. IMO it's easier then C++ as well, only 'downside' is, you have to work with OOP. Not really a downside, but can be a hassle to learn when you're just starting.

Java runs on a virtual machine, meaning its never actually turned into machine code. This makes the apps slower because the apps themselves are not machine code and you must have another application present just to run them. This slowness makes it less ideal for computer applications and unsuitable for many web applications.

ps. The java virtual machine is written in C++.
