Meet The New PHP5 Toolkit, Pidget

Squirrel482 writes "People who like toolkits like QT and GTK but are generally ticked of by the state of GUI design on the web should check out Pidget. It is a just released GUI toolkit (along the lines of QT for the web) for PHP5. It features good object oriented design and is probably one of if not the first publicly available project to take advantage of PHP5. It's in early development and is still a little rough around the edges, but definately worth checking out."

CSS is for logic/display seperation

Site seems quite light on details right now - I might check it out once they update the screenshots to show it doing something interesting/unique. As it stands now it just looks like a toolkit for people that don't know how to make full use of CSS.

Difference from PEAR::HTML_Form?

[lux55]

I'm curious (since their web site doesn't offer much info, and the downloaded src didn't offer much more) as to what the difference is between this and these:

PEAR::HTML_Form
PEAR::HTML_QuickForm

On the surface, they seem to solve the exact same problem.

... then you may (should, must) appreciate Zope, especially its Plone portal implementation.

You may be interested alos in looking at an example of how and why the developer of formerly famous PHP-based forum has moved (re-wrote) the whole thing to Plone.

Here are some Zope successfull stories from the real market.
