Terminal environment + NCURSES + PHP

Hello, We are developing an aplication to use it over terminal. It has to be a text-based application, not web-based. Sine we all know PHP very well and only few of us know C, we want to use PHP to develop it. The application complexity is like "mc" (Midnight Commander) program and requieres many objects like menus, entry fields, selects, radio buttons, and all of this widgets need to be for text environment. I have found many widgets (free source code) developed in C, but noning for PHP. I wonder, did someone developed widget/libraries/otherusefullcode for PHP to use it in a text environment? What code related to text environment for php exists at this time? I have already compiled my php binary --with-ncurses and I know it is possible to develop my own menus, buttons and etc... but I would first ask for what is actualy available on the net. Thank you very much for any input Nikolai
