PHP-GTK is an extension for the PHP programming language that implements language bindings for GTK+. It provides an object-oriented interface to GTK+ classes and functions and greatly simplifies writing client-side cross-platform GUI applications.
PHP-GTK is one of those great resources that for some unclear reason hasn’t become mainstream. One would think that standalone applications created with the power of PHP would be a big hit, and I do hope it still happens. Earlier this year there were some rumours about the death of PHP-GTK, the developers were quick in responding with this:
“Rumours of PHP-GTK’s death have been greatly exaggerated! The project is very much still alive, but we’re waiting for PHP 5.3 to come out, and also some work needs to be done on the Cairo extension before a new release can be made. This should be completed soon. This release will come with support for GTK+ 2.14 and 2.16, Cairo, and PHP 5.3.
The next release will also include official installers for Windows and Mac OSX, and an installer script (thank you bob) for Linux.” – extracted
