I want to know if is possible to use Google App Maker with PHP to obtain a file from an specific folder of my PC and know if the file change.
Thanks for your help.
No.
Google App Maker creates web applications which run on the Google Cloud Platform, and which are accessed in a web browser. These applications cannot view files which are stored on your computer.

I am using my google drive space to host my website (I followed the instructions here in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtQ9TvQLKjc&t=291s) and it is all functional and working except the PHP forms in my HTML website template!
When I contacted BootstrapeMade.com where I purchased my website template from, they told me that the reason is that my hosting does not provide PHP support.
I searched online but I couldn't find anything useful and google drive API documentation is overwelmingly poor written. So I was wondering if there is anybody here who can help me answering this questions for me: What is the best way to use PHP forms on my Google Drive hosted website? Is it even possible? If yes, how exactly?
No, you can not execute any PHP code on google drive. PHP is a backend development language and you need a server to execute it. Google Drive works like storage, and you can only share your HTML, CSS, JS files publicly on it.
I have project that needs to output hundreds of photos from one template file, compress them into a .zip file, and push them to the customer's browser. After that, the .zip file can be deleted.
Google App Engine (PHP) does not allow you to write files like you would in a standard web server.
How can this be accomplished with GAE flexible?
As you have already known, App Engine flexible does not allow you to write files on the system even if it runs on a VM. The reason is that it runs within more Docker containers and you will not have the guarantee that you will find the file.
An alternative for this is to change a bit your workflow and to use Cloud Storage as an intermediate. You can send the photos directly to Cloud Storage, and the users will be able to download them directly from Cloud Storage. Here you have a guide on how to achieve this from App Engine flex for PHP.
Our website coded in php language was designed by some third party. Our whole project code with its database is in Azure. We now want to make changes to it and update it but we do not know how to retrieve php code of website from Azure. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
If you have access to the Azure Subscription where you app is hosted, you have several options.
Download the publishing profile and use FTP/S. This file will have FTP username and password.
Use the Kudu Environment (https://.scm.azurewebsites.net)
Use the App Editor (https://.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev)
If Continuous Deployment was configured you could grab the code from the repo (assuming you have access to the repo).
First, let me tell you what i'm trying to accomplish...maybe there's an easier way than using signed urls with google cloud storage:
i want to upload files without public access to my bucket and when someone navigates to my server (that's not a google compute engine instance, but a regular cpanel machine) it should display the files just fine.
One way of doing it is through an url on my server that would download the file from google storage and serve it to the browser, but that's slow.
Another way that i've found was using these signed urls of google's. My problem would be: how do i generate them in PHP using the current APIs from google ?
I doubt it's of any importance but i'm using phalcon as my backend framework.
Thanks.
I have done some research on internet about ffmpeg which provides solution for this.
Can anyone suggest me in which technology i should go for desktop based application or web based application would be fine.
Also if there is any other gif image generators available.
Thanks.
I would suggest you to go for web based application instead of desktop based application. Web appplication can be accessed from anywhere and from any device mobile or pc or tab. Desktop application on the other hand will be dependent only for that machine. Just go with the one which serves the business purpose very well.
For generating images you can use the PHP's image library. Check the below link :
