RE: [PHP-GTK] PHP5 + GTK.$ver ?

First off, since Alan experimented there have been _massive_ changes in Zend Engine internals! There was an experimental GTK1/ZE2 port, and it worked a looooong time ago.. it's still in CVS. The 'loooooong time ago' part means that it's unlikely it still works with PHP 5 now. You have to realise that both PHP internals and GTK internals went through major changes between their major point releases.. the approaches in both cases have very little in common with the earlier versions. There's not a lot of point in going backwards; PHP-GTK 2 was always intended to be the PHP 5 language bindings for GTK 2. > -----Original Message----- > From: simon@firepages.org [mailto:simon@firepages.org] > Sent: 20 July 2004 16:53 > To: php-gtk-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-GTK] PHP5 + GTK.$ver ? > > > Hi , a quickie > > First off I do note that Alan came/is within spitting distance of > PHP5/GTK2 ...& I appreciate that PHP5/GTK2 is a while away for > several good reasons (not least PHP5's still a toddler). > > I get the feeling from Andrei's post that its straight into GTK2, > so I ask , what exactly/officially, is the next target :: a > stable PHP5 + GTK 1.* or PHP5 + GTK2 ? > > Right now I personally would be over the moon with PHP5 + GTK 1.* > , I appreciate that GTK2 is preferable for many reasons, but > seeing as that may be a while away and that its a lot of work ... > what's the chances of getting PHP5 working with GTK 1.* , or more > to the point is it realistic , I have not a clue how much work > would be involved but I assume some of you here do :) > > Would the work on getting PHP5 up to date with the current GTK > libraries simply be too much to be thrown away when GTK2 starts > in earnest ? > > I would love to have a genuine reason to use all of the OO in > PHP5 , its even worth thinking about a pattern or 2 ;) , though > to be fair I would saw off my own head for some decent > dereferencing!
