If you've been wondering what all the talk about PHP and GTK has been lately, but haven't had a chance to get into the code - DevShed just might have something for you. In their new posting, Programming with PHP and GTK, Part 1 they start an introductory series to help newcomers get their feet wet.

They start off with a how-to on the installation and configuration (both on unix-based and windows systems), as well as a few sample scripts to get the ball rolling. Working with windows is one of the key things in PHP-GTK, and they give you a function or two to help illustrate just how easy it really is.

With the aid of several widgets, your scripts can move from simple, procedural bits of code to more advanced, reusable (and cleaner) functionality.
