# php-webview
This is a simple PHP extension for writing simple, cross-platform GUI applications using PHP. It uses the webview library to create a small, lightweight, cross-platform application that can be used to create simple GUI applications.
Internally, it uses the [webview](https://github.com/webview/webview) library.
# Supported Platforms
In theory, this extension should work on windows, mac & linux but only tested on linux & mac so far.
# Before you start
You'll need basic tools for C compilation. On mac, the gnu compiler is recommended. On windows, you can use the Visual Studio compiler.
Before compiling the extension, you'll need to install the webview library. Example commands for mac are:
```bash
brew install gcc git
git clone https://github.com/webview/webview.git
cd webview
./script/build.sh build
cp build/library/libwebview.dylib /usr/local/lib
cp webview.h /usr/local/include
```
For linux, you can use the following commands:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/webview/webview.git
cd webview
./script/build.sh build
sudo cp build/library/libwebview.so /usr/lib
sudo cp webview.h /usr/include
```
If you face any issue, or you want to work in windows, please consult the [Getting Started](https://github.com/webview/webview?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started) section of the webview library.
# Installation
## Linux
```bash
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
```
## Mac
```bash
phpize
./configure CC=gcc-13 CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lwebview"
make
make install
```
# Usage
See the [webview.stub.php](webview.stub.php) file for the class signature. Also, checkout the [examples](examples) directory for some examples.
# Known Issues
~~There's a few issues like some random crashes especially during the creation and destruction of the webview object.~~ When using with the [parallel](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.parallel.php) php extension, in linux sometime it crashes while quitting the threads and in mac, it doesn't work at all with multi threading support.
The installation process should also be improved. In theory, it should be possible to skip the installation of the webview library.
If you face any issue, please open an issue in the repository. If you can fix it, please open a pull request.
