Hi,
After bumping into this weired acronym (gtk.php.net) a couple of times, I decided to dig into it. I've found out that GTK is a cross-platform-language (or collection of classes) to make graphical interfaces. Ok. So with php it is something like java, right? Now, to run a javaapp you have to install java first (which means that people on computers they are not in control of, can't run your app). My question then is: Does the user have to install gtk-libaries or something before running a php-gtk-app? Or could they just download my app and run it? Or... I would like to know before spending more time on this interesting new tool... Thanks in advance...

All the gtk programs i've used untill now (not php related) required me to have gtk libs. Nowadays, there is even a nice installer for windooze. But in the end, it would be possible to statically link the libs and end up with one big binary. Now, i haven't seen much options to generate binary code from php. So people would still need a php interpreter.
Btw, with gjc (from the gnu gcc suite) you can generate native binary code instead of java bytecode.
