I don't think that you'll get much else than Blender or PHP-GTK - so from that perspective I'd hazard a guess that your not going to be finding anything that will allow you use php for desktop development in the way you require. come to think of it M$ has been doing something to shoehorn PHP into the .NET env ... I have no idea whether this would be anything that could bare fruit for you, you'd have to google. as an alternative you might consider Adobe Flex Builder - you get WYSIWYG-ness, you can leverage javascript skills (by way of ActionScript) and it's runs on the AIR platform - so it's nice and desktoppy but with the added bonus of being cross-platform. just a thought. > > Thanks, > Ryan > > > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
