Thanks Norm and Ulf,

Firstly, I agree that Java would be a better choice to build GUI, but I
like PHP a lot more these days.

I checked out the Glade website.
Looks like a nice GUI designer. :)

Could you guide me a little futher?
As I understand it I can run Glade on my *nix box, and let it generate a
XML file that contains the instructions for TCL/TK to build the GUI.

Could I use that XML file to recreate the UI on any machine that runs
PHP with TCL/TK?
I guess I have to add names of PHP-functions to events then.

Is that correct?
If so, it sounds like a feasible approach.

Thanks.
Regards,
Erwin Moller
