Hi Everyone, I'm fairly new to this list, but have been around PHP for a very long time. I'm the original author of SquirrelMail, the webmail client written in PHP4. As I have been doing web development, I noticed the alarming trend that most web applications have a hacked-together interface. It is hard to create a standardized, unified interface in web programming languages like PHP. As a solution to this, and to test out the wonderful new capabilities of PHP5, I wrote Pidget -- The PHP Widget Library.
Pidget is a library of graphical widgets that get rendered in HTML. If you have done any GUI programming in QT or MFC, it is very similar. There are layout engines and widgets that interact with it. Anyhow, it is completely in PHP5 using the great new object oriented features. As far as I know, this is the first large-scale project that is fully PHP5. Why amd I writing to this list? The company that I work for, and who sponsored Pidget's development, CommNav, has decided to create an open source project out of Pidget. It is my hope that as PHP5 gains adoption, so will Pidget. Web applications designed with Pidget have a much cleaner separation of display and logic (HTML is not printed out inline).
