What is PHP-GTK? PHP-GTK is developed to prove that PHP is a powerful tool that goes far beyond Web applications. With PHP-GTK you can create a standalone GUI (user graphical interface) application, such as MP3 player, text editor, database backend, and so on. PHP-GTK is an extension of PHP that can be downloaded from http://gtk.php.net. PHP-GTK is based on GTK +, which was first used by Andrei Zmievski. What is GTK +? GTK + (GIMP Toolkit) developed for the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). GTK + has grown rapidly and has now become an integral part of the GNU Desktop Environment Project (Gnome). In fact, GTK + is a set of C language libraries: GTK,GDK and glib. The ease of building cross-platform applications is an important reason for php-gtk to pop up. If you're a Windows programmer, don't be impatient, because the Windows platform's GTK (and PHP-GTK) are already available. Basically, GTK + and PHP-GTK are tools that use widgets to build user graphical interface (GUI) applications; a GUI is a set of widgets that complement parts of an application that interacts with the user, whether buttons, text boxes, and so on, which are part of the GUI. Widgets are a separate object that makes up the GUI, which is typically a scrollbar, a text box, a button, and a menu, in effect, the window itself is the object of the widget. Application Example: There are many database applications that use PHP-GTK, the most famous of which may be the number of Agatareport (http://agata.codigolivre.org.br/). Some games like "Phpgtklife" and "cow puzzle" are still under development. PHP-GTK development is available from the MP3 player to the mature IRC client. These examples are numerous and can be developed across platforms.
