You could write your own installer (I just finished one for one of our
CMS's), but it can't be done in PHP... not unless PHP already is
preinstalled on the system. This is because PHP scripts don't run on any
system without the PHP engine preinstalled.
Other options include writing your installer in languages that compile
into native applications for the systems on which you like to execute
them. On Windows systems for instance, any .Net-compatible language will
do (C#, Java, VB, Delphi, etc.).
Once the computer is equipped to run PHP, you can use the command-line PHP
interpreter to run any script... including installation scripts. I learned
by experience that this is less easy than it seems :)
Don't know of any existing universal installers written in PHP. Sorry.
