A PHP library for building cross-platform desktop GUI applications without installing any PHP extension, installed via Composer. It works by communicating with a bundled Lazarus/Free Pascal runtime, letting developers create windows, buttons, and other components with plain PHP objects and event callbacks.

Use cases

  • build a desktop gui app in php
  • create windowed php applications without extensions
  • make a cross-platform desktop tool using php
  • add buttons and forms to a php cli script
  • prototype a gui quickly with composer

When to choose

  • you know PHP and want a simple desktop app without learning a new language
  • you cannot install PHP extensions on target machines
  • you need a cross-platform GUI with zero external dependencies beyond Composer

When to avoid

  • you need a modern, actively maintained GUI toolkit
  • you require native look-and-feel or advanced UI features
  • your project targets PHP 8+ environments exclusively
  • you need mobile or web deployment
