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 think as far as compatibility goes, QT is your best bet. What is preventing you from getting that build onto your dev system? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

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
