Well, I have to say it is.
For little apps, it's very good.
You see, PHP is the easiest language out there IMHO, and I already did some really good php-gtk programs with it.
Yes, the real problem here is that a php compiler is missing, so distribution of it is very hard on linux machines.
But indeed it's very good and very, very cool. I would love to have qt-php :)

This is such a non-sense. Php is a scripting language for dynamic web page. If you want an easy scripting language, yet powerful, take python.

What? Php-gtk is far from useless. I have written a proof of concept query tool in it, and it runs very fast, and because of PHP's excellent DB functionality, can connect to virtually any databas eunder the sun. PHP-Mole (http://www.akbkhome.com/Projects/Phpmole-IDE/) is a feature-rich IDE being written entirely in PHP-GTK. I'd suggest checking out stuff next time before making sweeping assumptions.</p>

I have to disagree... as both a python and PHP programmer, both are useful and very complete languages. PHP is extrodinarily good at generating text files of any sort (due to the way it handles output), but can be used to do virtually any task. I have a PHP script that goes through my MP3 files, renames them (capitalizing words, spacing dashes, etc), and resets the ID3 tags (a binary operation) in them to what the filename suggests.

Like Perl and Python, PHP supports modular, loadable libraries, and also supports classes. It is very much capable of being interfaced to Qt and KDE and producing useful applications. And even if your view is *still* that it is "just a HTML scripting language", let me kick this idea out - DCOP aware webpages on your intranet.

Yep, I'll second that. I have a PHP project that runs as a daemon, using SQL based mp3 playlists
to play music, and talking about it (and automagically downloading and reading news) with
Festival. I probably could've gotten better performance if I had written it in C or even Perl, but
it didn't take me long to develop, and it was a good exercise to finish up learning PHP.

*Shameless code promotion* That app isnt in devel anymore, but you can get it at
geekradio.sf.net, and I might just continue to work on it if there's any demand.
