PHP 5 Release Sparks Up PHP-GTK 2.0

Posted by simoniker on from the inhale-exhale dept.

joeldg writes "Since the release of PHP5 a lot of interest has reverberated down through the whole PHP community. In particular, there's a call for a PHP-GTK 2.0 which will utilize GTK2 and will have an entire rewrite of it from the ground up to make use of new features. Additionally there is an open call to help add to the documentation and to help with the website, post to and join the php-gtk-general mailing list to follow along with the activity. The forthcoming PHP-GTK version 2.0 will bind GTK+ 2 to PHP 5. Until then, PHP-GTK 1.0.0 works only with PHP 4."

  1. I still want a wxWindows binding by dJCL · · Score: 3, Interesting

    sure, writing gui code in a web language is more an entertaining trick then really good practice... but I'd still prefer a binding to wxWindows(or whatever they have decided to rename it too) then just gtk...

    That's one of the reasons I bothered to learn python, so I could write once, run anywhere and the code would look native on any given gui

    ah well

    It's all in the theme...you can compare one theme to another in terms of looks, and one widget set to another in terms of performance and functionality.
