the way I installed php-gtk2 for windows (with another install, that is my webserver) was to just create a php-gtk folder someplace, and copy my php(web) folder there, then I edited the php.ini to include the php-gtk.dll, and run all of the gtk2 apps from that directory, you can then enable any of the other extension’s that php can use, and use them with gtk2, without it messing up the “regular” install of php and the web server. As far as I know, thats all that Gnope does, execpt it comes in a nice little package. If you have any questions on php-gtk2, you can email me, and I may be able to help.

I’m working on getting some of the extensions built and compiled for windows – but take a look at http://callicore.net/desktop if you want some early precompiled stuff. I’ll be posting about “adventures in compiling” later

Hello, if you have compiled php-gtk2 files for windows, couldn’t it be possible to have them somewhere for others ? I am working for months with the alpha version, for our library database interface, and it is terrible to face so many limitations. And no new versions for months. It would be a great help to have a version where you change characters in styles. In the alpha version it doesn’t work. rnrnAbout the documentation : There is an excellent Python-GTK tutotial which works very well for PHP-GTK. I would be lost without it. But I think it should not be very difficult to “translate” it for PHP-GTK, on ly syntax changes are needed. Everything I read there worked in PHP. For the every day user, this tutorial is more interesting than the full documentation because things are organized.

The best way to install PHP-GTK2 on windows is currently http://gnope.org . I simply want to create a similiar windows installer that 1. only does php-gtk2 (no pear, no other junk) 2. doesn’t mess with any .dlls or the windows path on my system because I have a fairly fragile setup (I hate dll hell on windows)rnrn

Hi. I found your article on installing PHP-GTK interesting – but a little hard to follow. Do you have any newer thoughts about installing the current version?rnYour (Callicore) Writer project sounds neat – something I could use myself to keep track of the 1000s of scribbled plots, chapters and etc. rnSomething I ran across while looking for an up-to-date stand-alone desktop development package (I even re-installed VB6 last week and found out it will work with SQLite with a little work. However, I decided on PHP-GTK as my development package) is this scriptwriting application done with Mozilla Application Framework – Celtex http://wiki.celtx.com/index.php?title=Main_Page – you might find it interesting.rnMost IT people today have a web-only mentality – but there are a lot of reasons for developing some kinds of desktop packages with embedded SQLite DBs. rnCheers,rnHal Davey
