Re: A native Windows binding for PHP - released

Though I haven't had a chance to check out the code, it sounds very promising to me. > Your ideas, comments, criticisms and suggestions are very welcome. One thought though.... probably allot more work -- With having 2 separate interfaces for windowing, PHP-GTK and WinBinder, creating a single api would be nice. Like xslt and the PDO extension (using different backend libs under same php API) or like java's awt or swing. And when a user went to compile php he/she can enable the windowing library for his/her platform. i.e. --enable-windowing --with-windowing-[gtk|winbinder|*] Just a thought. This would obviously require allot more thought and collaboration between the PHP-GTK group but would be very nice. With this setup there would also be more room to expand for other windowing toolkits like KDE, Cocoa (Mac) etc. -Justin Hannus "Rubem Pechansky" <pechansky@hypervisual.com> wrote in message news:20040917183524.71003.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Hi all, > > I have designed and successfully prototyped a native Windows binding for > PHP.
