Is there a PHP web toolkit similar to Google Web T

Question

I've been playing with GWT lately, and I like the idea a lot. The only downside for me is Java, which I'm not a big fan of. (Please don't argue about Java being better than PHP, it's not the point here, really)

Do you know about any mature and efficient PHP toolkit providing a set of widgets just like GWT does ?

Thanks for your help :)

Edit : To rephrase it, I'm looking for a PHP framework that can generate most of the HTML code for the pages of my applications. PHP-Ext seems to be a pretty good example of what I'm looking for. Do you know about any other project of that kind ?

Answer 1

How about http://www.gwtphp.com/ ? It is GWT but it compiles to PHP instead of Java for the serverside. It is not yet officially published though, and I haven't tried yet.

Answer 2

pChart is pretty good.

As an aside, you could use any javascript library, like YUI or Dojo, server-side with Aptana Jaxer.

Answer 3

You can use Delphi for PHP in this way. But the main idea is UI is also related to clients side so you always need javascript etc.. for achieving a web-UI. Check prado or yii framework which have component/event based architecture and js integrated.

Answer 4

maybe this FOSS project is something for your needs

Answer 5

Maybe Delphi for PHP will do what you want. I haven't used it though.
