Default Re: extension PHP Qt

Thne idea is interesting but there are a couple of details that may make
your extension uninteresting for the current PHP community:

1. Very few people will be using PHP 5 soon.

2. Qt Open Source license is GPL. This means that your extension has to
be GPL to be publicly distributed and only GPL programs can use your
extension unless they pay the commercial Qt license.

If you agree that this may be a problem, you may want to consider using
wxWindows instead of Qt, and also benefit of cross-platform with native
bindings without a cost or licence limitations:
