I think as far as compatibility goes, QT is your best bet. What is
preventing you from getting that build onto your dev system?

PHP GUI library/package

Hi All,

I have a web project built in PHP which we want to break out part of into a
stand-alone GUI program. The architecture is fine - display nicely separated
from logic, so coding is not a problem.
What I can't work out is what to use for the GUI part. I looked at phpqt but I
can't (yet) get that to build on my Linux dev system, let alone code an
interface with it. I was also looking a PHP-GTK2, but I'm not sure how
cross-platform it would be - this should run on Windows and Macs as well as Linux...

Anyone made a GUI PHP application like this, with one of the major toolkits?

Cheers
Pete

I need to focus on it a bit better: I'll have another look and ask again if I
still have trouble.

Excellent reason to not do any coding today.

Makes tomorrow less of a "revert commit" day.

Sorry, about the closest I've got to QT is probably to use some apps
that use it. It's one of those things that I thought would be nice to
play with if I had the time, but never had the time!

Not all down to the beer.
I unpacked the php-qt-0.9.tar.gz and made a build directory in there, ran cmake
(which seemed to go OK), but make fails at
[ 8%] Building CXX object smoke/qt/CMakeFiles/smokeqt.dir/x_2.o

with a bunch of errors like

/home/pete/phpqt/build/smoke/qt/x_2.cpp: In static member function ‘static void
x_QAccessibleBridgeFactoryInterface::x_0(Smoke::StackItem*)⠀™:
/home/pete/phpqt/build/smoke/qt/x_2.cpp:167: error: cannot allocate an object of
abstract type ‘x_QAccessibleBridgeFactoryInterface’
/home/pete/phpqt/build/smoke/qt/x_2.cpp:163: note: because the following
virtual functions are pure within ‘x_QAccessibleBridgeFactoryInterface’:
/usr/include/QtCore/qfactoryinterface.h:53: note: virtual QStringList
QFactoryInterface::keys() const


I'm building on an OpenSuSE 11.1 system, but looking around it seems that Fedora
12 has a php-qt package, so I'm putting together a VM to try it on there...

If you have any light to shed, then let me know. The php-qt mailing list seems a
bit empty at the moment...

Cheers
Pete

Pete:

You're not the only one who would like to know how to do this.

I work on a Mac and I would very much like to create a "stand-alone"
application from my php scripts, but I am clueless as to how to do
this.

If anyone has done this on a Mac, I would be very interested in
knowing how you did it.

Thanks,

tedd

There could be some approaches to the problem of creating a stand-along
application out of a working PHP web application. Some would involve
more and others less work. The way we do it is to enable the built-in
Apache server on the Mac, get PHP on it, and then install the web
application on localhost, and run it from there through the browser. It
is less work this way since the PHP code runs as it is, without making
any modification. The other advantage is that since many users are used
to the point and click interface of web based applications, they
possibly get used to your application soon. Teus.
