    Php-gtk

    Any looking into this? Or is it just a novel idea of what PHP can be used for but not really practical?

    I have never seen an actual program that uses it. I believe it was more proof-of-concept than anything.

    Seems like you would have a hard time writing a desktop app in PHP due to the way PHP is designed for output.

    I've only ever looked at it once, I'll have to agree with penagate about it being a proof of concept, but I don't know if that was the official position of the makers of PHP. It's out there, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to use it especially when you have VB6/C#/VB.NET at your disposal.

    I guess like Java it could be used as a cross platform language. Unlike Java, it is probably fast But you'll need to get the users to install a PHP interpreter or bundle it with your application.
