PHP ia not compiled, so it won't meet your second requirement.
Additionally, I've never seen it embedded in anything but html. While I
see no reason why it couldn't be, it's the Apache (or IIS) PHP module
which senses the <?php and ?> tags and passes what's between them to the
interpreter. You'd have to create a similar module for a standalone app.
