Making a GUI Mess of PHP

PHP Magazine 05.2004 Making a GUI Mess of PHP: Building ‘Stand-alone’ GUI Applications with PHP-GTK

by Ben Ramsey
International PHP Magazine
Issue 05.2004 (Sep/Oct 2004)

From the introduction:

PHP-GTK has been around for several years now, and you may have heard what it can do – allow developers to create graphical applications using PHP. Egads! It sounds as if it’s the Holy Grail of PHP, something that can take PHP to new heights, breaking it free from the bonds of the Web. In fact, it can do just that, as we see with a practical application: a simple text editor.

PHP-GTK 1.0.1 released!

Mon, 9 Aug 2004 21:34 UTC

And you thought they were done.

PHP-GTK just announced the release of version 1.0.1. This release implements some new features of GtkToolbar, as well as some bug fixes and a new build system. It’s proof that the folks at PHP-GTK (which includes myself) are dedicated to continuing the project and working toward PHP-GTK 2. Overall, activity has increased tremendously in the project; take some time to check it out.

Blog inactivity

Sat, 24 Jul 2004 15:02 UTC

Yes, it’s true. I have succumbed to the level of blogging about not blogging. It’s the lowest form of the blog.

Things have been very busy lately. I have some content that’s going to be published in the near future, but I will wait until it’s published to mention what it is.

In the meantime, I have been working with the PHP-GTK project and helping to improve their Web site. Others are working on this initiative for both the Web site and the documentation, but I’ll post more about that later.

For now, I’ll just acknowledge my inactive blog by saying thanks to Chris Shiflett, who pointed out the other day that he was responsible for getting me listed on Planet PHP, and I haven’t posted a damn thing since. This is for you, Chris—and I’m still finding it hard to switch to one space after a period at the end of a sentence. High school English teachers should go back to grammar school!
