PHP-GTK

Revision as of 11:23, 19 July 2009

What is it?

PHP-GTK is an extension for PHP, which enables you to write real applications with a GTK-interface in PHP. This works really well on the Openmoko, and some applications have already been written.

Hello World example

<?php
 dl("php_gtk2.so");
 
 class MyWindow{
   function __construct(){
     $this->window = new GtkWindow();
     $this->label = new GtkLabel("Hello world");
     $this->window->add($this->label);
     $this->window->show_all();
   }
 }
 
 $my_window = new MyWindow();
 Gtk::main();
?>

How to get it?

Derick Rethans has ported PHP and PHP-GTK for the OpenMoko, which you can read more about on his blog in this post.

There has already been set up a repository called Knjrepository by Kaspernj, which includes these packages amongst many others.
