The PHP-GTK Community site has posted a new poll that ask PHP-GTK developers which, of the choices provided is their favorite editing widget used in their applications.

The choices are:

• GtkScintilla
• GtkSourceView
• GtkTextView

They also included the "Homegrown" option for anyone that might have whipped up their own. At the time of this posting, GtkScintilla and GtkTextView are tied with two votes apiece. If you're a PHP-GTK developer and have worked much with text editing widgets, head over and cast your vote today!

Elizabeth Smith has a new post today points out some Windows builds of some of the more popular PHP-GTK2 widgets she's compiled (including GtkSourceview, GtkHtml, and LibGlade).

I have these extensions building on windows, or have found someone else who is building them for windows. You can find downloads that are either the full distributions (if no one else is building them) and/or the runtimes + items needed to build with PHP-GTK2 at my callicore build site with the other gtk libraries.

She uses the rest of the post getting into some detail on how she compiled the modules, issues she had with some, and what widgets/packages are on the horizon.

There's a new tutorial posted on the PHP-GTK Community site today - a quick one showing how to use GtkSourceview to create a simple PHP editor with syntax highlighting.

This widget is nearly usable as a real php-gtk IDE. It extends GtkSourceView widget and internally manages both a text buffer and language object classes.

They provide the code, but not too much in the way of explanation for it. Thankfully, most of it is pretty straight-forward. There are a few things that the script has to manage to make the it work - a text buffer for the data, a viewer (window), and the syntax highlighting component. For the view, there are a few handy functions already built in so you won't have to create them - undos, the syntax highlighting, line numbering, markers, and bracket highlighting.
