Why
---

[](#why)

PHP can be more than a "Web Language", it's a fast language, with a cross platform interpreter and a good CLI. GUI is a natural step for completing this ecosystem.

For many years, GUI projects are being developed for PHP, like [PHP-GTK](http://gtk.php.net/), [PHP-QT](https://sourceforge.net/projects/php-qt/), [wxPHP](http://wxphp.org/) and so many others, but none of them became popular.

This project aims to solve the most common problems of existing "GUI Projects":

- The need for installing an extension
- Cross platform
- No external dependencies
- Easy to install (composer require php-gui) / Easy to use ($button = new Button)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

The following PHP versions are supported:

- PHP 5.6
- PHP 7
- HHVM

And OS:

- Linux x64
- Windows x64
- Mac OSX (tested on 10.10.x and 10.11.x)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Download the library using [composer](https://packagist.org/packages/gabrielrcouto/php-gui):

#### Stable version

[](#stable-version)

```
$ composer require gabrielrcouto/php-gui
```

#### Latest version (development)

[](#latest-version-development)

```
$ composer require gabrielrcouto/php-gui:dev-master
```

Now, you can build a GUI application. Let's do a Hello World!

Create the file 'myapp.php':

```
