wxPHP has Risen

I would like to announce here that the wxPHP project has been revived by myself and another developer. Currently we do not have anything working and are only getting ready to get started.

Probably nice idea thought I must admit it is not clear to for me what it is exactly. Is it for serwing web applications through dynamic html generated from php scripts using wx-like syntax or is it about using standalone php-based applications using php calls to wxWidgets library. I suppose the later but I'm not fully sure.

The goal is to create direct bindings to the wxWidgets framework. You should be able to build a standalone desktop app in wxPHP when it's done.
The same idea as GTK-PHP.

If I have an existing PHP app, is there something to convert it to wxPHP?

wxPHP is not another language. But only an extension to PHP itself. Once you have wxPHP installed you will be able to write a GUI app in PHP using the wxWidgets framework.

Building something that converts GTK-PHP apps to wxPHP apps might be good but rather difficult. And useless as we don't even have a working wxPHP yet.

Currently we are looking for people who can help out on this project.

Yeah. This is realy interesting.

although i'd be more interested in phpWX (or what ever you would call a library that would allow you to embed PHP scripting engine into wx application).

Hehehe. Well I doubt that'll happen. But one never knows.

Understandable, but here's the catch that the main wxWidgets development could use lots of helping hands aswell. Just pointing out

Good point. I believe software development as a whole could use lots of helping hands

This post is really old but I would like to announce that wxPHP development has continue and we have setup a new website and forum to keep the project growing.

Website: http://wxphp.org/
Forums: http://forums.wxphp.org/

We have successfully added wxAui support as enabled more bindings to the wxWidgets library. Also some documentation on how to compile the code on linux and windows has been written for people that wish to test or contribute to the project. A new build has been done for windows and can be found on the website. Also we have been working on integrating wxPHP support into wxFormBuilder, it is already working and you can check it out here: http://wxformbuilder.svn.sourceforge.ne ... hes/wxphp/

For more information about the project please visit the site or register at the community forums. Comments, testing and contributions are welcome!
