Not sure even if a smile can change history though.

But how it "runs" is different. A desktop app starts and has a message 
loop that checks for user interaction. Responds and continues until 
either program, user, or system terminates the processes. With the web 
the php script receives its input via the web server, script runs and 
does its stuff, creates the web page and terminates.
