When I first started using PHP-GTK, I struggled a long time to get a very basic database browser to work properly, and I think 75 - 80% of the methods and syntax were derived from going through other people's code because I couldn't find what I needed in online documentation. But that said, my understanding (from a recent note by Steph?) was that once PHP5 was released, PHP-GTK2 was going to receive renewed attention by the generous folks who volunteer their time and efforts towards the development of a truly robust and user-friendly programming language. So maybe things are looking up now that there has been an official release of PHP5. I for one am not giving up on PHP-GTK. Maybe it's time for all of us to get more involved... dave
