Sending it as a reply in the middle of a thread instead of starting your own didn't help either. This topic is a long-standing one without any resolution in sight. PHP-GTK apps depends on the PHP-GTK engine which in turn depends on PHP. There are many people involved, and a common agreement may be hard to reach. Plus you have to take into account the different characteristics of all the operating systems and in particular those of Linux and Windows which are the most widely used. Search the php-gtk and php-general list archives for things like "php archive" and you'll see what went down so far. Myself I can suggest you take a look at PHP script which handles .zip packaged PHP applications. It's Linux-only but feel free to expand upon it: http://software.zuavra.net/par/ -- Ciprian Popovici
