You can:

1) use the GTK widget set from PHP
2) create a POSIX environment on the MS-Windows (not 'windows') machine then
use the ncurses library with PHP
3) ISR tht someone was working on embedding PHP into a CHM help-browser type
application - try google for more info

....but the web browser environment provides so much functionality maybe you
should think about using a slimline webserver. There's even a couple
written in PHP.
