We all know PHP, and we all love standalone EXE tools for simple, repetitive tasks. There is a tool called phc-win that can compile a PHP program for you and create an EXE of it; but now it's a lot more straightforward. All you need to do is this:

phpflexer compile myprogram.php

...and you have your EXE file in a split second. It only knows the basics so it's not for heavyweight rounds but for simple tools it's more than enough. I've made a LESS compiler, a file change watcher, a backup tool and a lot of other stuff with it so for me it has proven to be really useful; I decided to publish it. Even if it's basically the same as phc-win without the graphical interface, it's very different when it comes to everyday use.
