I don't even know if GTK works on MACOSX out of the box.

I suggest you check this out then. The 'why' using php-gtk is quiet obvious, it's PHP code after all which for some reason we happen to know quite good. Also, if PHP-GTK works on MacOSX we only need to maintain a single code base for the GUI part (less errors).

OK, I will check that ASAP. There has been 1 reported case of it working, apparently this was done by building 'everything' from source , not using fink.

Problems that we did run into was the php on mac OSX did not support dl'ed modules (on one version we tried) and there was a lot of confusion with some of apples build tools that made it 'painful' (or extremly annoying) - autoconf/automake/libtool etc. - note that markus's sqpane I think wount build. but the rest does.. regards alan

IMO the best thing for macosx users would be a GUI developed in Cocoa (objective-c), you would just have to drag-drop it on your disk and it would install. But I reckon it would be better if all the interfaces could look the same.

This part is quite questionable. 'the best thing' for win32 could be also to use it's native interface technology. 'the best thing' for unix could be argued to use KDE or Motiv ...

I agree with that.

But if you want to work on your favourite GUI in the language you know best, no one will stop you :-)

For sure. Have a nice weekend, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
