I was wondering if there is a definitive solution for building web applications that looks like desktop applications, for corporative users that are used to windows. I MEAN THE GUI DESKTOP PERSPECTIVE.
Can anyone help me with that? I use PHP.
I am in a group developing an application that will work for a bank, and that must look exactly like an application so the users do not even notice it is a web based one for security reasons (informed by the bank holder).
We have tried to use Java Applet, but it took just too much time to load, as the application is very big.
you can use ExtJs for your front end and php as back-end.ExtJs is a javascript framework for web-application.

I can't recommend PHP for anything personally, so here are some others...
Silverlight is a pretty good start. Does that even count as a web app?

SharePoint is a better alternative, being a Microsoft product.

On a subjective note, the internet is so pervasive now that just writing a friendly web page should be enough. Everyone uses the internet and can usually figure things out that present the format nicely.
What data will your application be serving? That has a big part in what framework you pick.

I want to build a web-application using the php, I have started with CodeIgniter and Smarty. The issue is I came to know opinion about this combination like "framework in 2015?, like a joke", there are so many framework and all the updated and and many more thing like socket and node.js and all which make me so confusing.
I know many thing have there own need and work all the way, but I want to develop a site which will expecting 1-5 million hit monthly and I want it fast and efficient, using core php need to do more work which a good framework can do for you but still not sure what's the best approach to go from here.
Any top PHP framework like Laravel or Symfony can handle websites with so much traffic. If you want to create an API based on PHP and leave front-end to another app like Angular, you may also take a look a Lumen or Slim Framework.
I know it's a broad question but answer is simple, these frameworks give you the tools, as long as you follow modern principles and use caching they will be able to serve that many requests.

I am thinking of creating a simple web based instant messaging using a combination of PHP and SQL. To keep it simple I was thinking of not sending the message to the other clients browser using COMET or AJAX, but simply uploading it to a SQL database. The other clients computer will then periodically refresh the webpage which will cause the PHP code on the server to check for and return any new messages.
Would this method be simply to slow to be actually useful?
Thanks in advance :)
That depends on the scope of your project. If you're thinking of server a thousand users, this is not a recommended method. If you want to chat with your 5 colleagues on an internal LAN: it doesn't really matter much. It will be fast and work just fine.
You could also consider building it with jQuery + PHP + SQL though; read up on jQuery a bit and you'll be amazed by the power of its AJAX functions.
Also, if you're lazy or simple don't have enough time, use a premade library like this one here and i'm sure there are many more to be found on the internet.

I'm a beginner web developer knows both PHP and JSP coding formats
I found lots pages on internet the all told that PHP is less secure than JSP.
but they all almost are old pages may be updated 2-3 years ago. Here I'm referring some forum links
Is JSP a good alternative to PHP [closed]
ASP - PHP - JSP ... which is better?
Now as every year new version PHP are releasing with lots of new features Like OOP, PHP Filters etc.
My question is that is PHP still less secure than JSP? if yes, than i want to know that what facts that makes PHP less secure than JSP. Please explain with examples if possible.
According to my opinion, It's the developer(means developer's code) who's responsible for security.
But i still want to know other programmers opinions
Any Help is appreciated
"According to my opinion, It's the developer(means developer's code) who's responsible for security"
Smart programming languages add up more layers which most of the time is in price of performance. Much of security on web applications is checking client input (uploaded file, form entries, URL...) to be same as expected. Smart languages do much of the work automatically. Also they have built-in security schemes which are prone to bug if you write them yourself.
I believe security is not the main concern for selecting the platform but should be considered besides performance, budget, maintenance...
Note: Security is not just about web application programming, you may get hacked from upper layers like other applications on the same web server, at operating system level...

I searched in google and come to know that there are some tools which
will provide remote assistance functionality (ex:Gotoassist,teamviewer).But i want to
implement the similar kind of feature in php.
Is it possible to implement in php or not?
I'm going with NOT just in PHP, PHP is a server side scripting language.
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/faq.general.php#faq.general.what
PHP can be responsible for hooking the session up / starting a server repeater and helping your user to connect with you - but it can't physically do the drawing of client side screen graphics and mouse/keyboard operation - you need something like this:

In tandem with a VNC viewer or other remote viewing product (C, C++, C#, .NET VB would be used to program it most likely) - found this one which might be useful to you called noVNC (web-based):

Something like this might help you:

I am writing application in PHP (+ MySQL database), but it gonna be mainly AJAX aplication. So, I am wondering, how to create frontend? Frontend also in MVC? Is it possible?
Of course MVC is possible on the front end also. JavaScript is a rich programming language, and since MVC is only a design architecture it's language agnostic. There are some attempts at MVC in some JS frameworks, mainly sproutcore and JavaScriptMVC.
I guess there are two paths to go, either separate PHP and frontend completely, and just pass JSON or XML with ajax between them, or blend them like a classic web application, and do some ajax-requests on top of that.
Unfortunately it is still not a good idea to rely on JavaScript being enabled, so having JavaScript applications "fail" gracefully is preferred.
I would recommend creating a basic PHP/HTML click-and-reload application first, which would allow dinosaurs to use the basic features of the site, and then build a JavaScript/AJAX application on top of that, which would enhance the base application.
As to the MVC question: It is definitively possible to create a JavaScript MVC front-end. I tried it myself a few months ago and it worked great. Just keep a close eye on the scope of your function calls. They can get away from you if you aren't careful :-P
You can use AngularJS if you want (AngularJS is an MVC framework for JavaScript).
