Not that new, PHP has GTK+ bindings too.

im going to make my own browser

Good luck Unless you use an existing rendering engine, creating a browser is generally no small task.

I wouldn't write it in PHP, though I'd be inclined to if it made any sense. You'll need to learn something supplementary anyway, as PHP is in no way designed to have a GUI.

EDIT: Ah, that's cool. It does have some GUI functions built into the library. I like the idea, but I'd still be surprised if you can actually get a browser coded.

Anyway, off to play with it.

PHP is just a language. It's not specifically geared towards GUI development, but then, few languages are. I wouldn't write a GUI application in it, but that's just because I hate PHP in general. It should also be noted that using direct Windows bindings will be a lot more difficult and sacrifice a lot of portability over using a platform-independent toolkit such as GTK+.

I'm certain it's possible. I just don't think insanemonkey entirely realises the complexity and time investment required.

And PHP is a server programming language.

You could write a scientific paper in Chinese, but it might be a bit easier to just start with Latin [or English].


EDIT: Hmm... nevermind. I'm on OSX. Going to XP right now would just make me unhappy
