Bug#211118: ITP: php-gtk -- PHP extension for GTK+ client-side cross-platform GUI apps. -- PHP-GTK: PHP language bindings for GTK+ toolkit. PHP-GTK is a PHP extension that enables you to write client-side cross-platform GUI applications. This is the first such extension of this kind and one of the goals behind it was to prove that PHP is a capable general-purpose scripting language that is suited for more than just Web applications. This extension will _not_ allow you to display GTK+ programs in a Web browser, and can be used in the Web environment only if you are running the webserver locally. It is intended for creating standalone GUI applications.

Note that this package was removed from testing and unstable recently
for the reasons in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release-0308/msg00024.html. You should
probably retrieve that package from snapshot.debian.net and at least
include the old Debian changelog; perhaps something can be salvaged from
the packaging too.

Cheers,
