[Php-qt-users] PHP-Qt, IQuiP, and QiDi

[Katrina N. <kn...@il...>]

We have put together some basic information here about the "big picture", 
which is the expansion of PHP-Qt and the bond between PHP-Qt and IQuiP. For 
those unfamiliar, IQuiP is the web-based counterpart to PHP-Qt (more info is 
below). We have also founded an organization called QiDi 
(pronounced "Chee-dee") to develop the QiDi Framework which defines standards 
for what the Qt API should look like in PHP.

IQuiP allows one to write full-featured web applications using the Qt 4.2 API 
in PHP and will soon be available from my company, ILdI Inc., in both open 
source and supported versions. IQuiP works on any browser that supports XHTML 
1.0 (which includes even most mobile phone browsers) but takes advantage of 
Javascript and AJAX when the browser supports it. With IQuiP, there is no 
need to write even one line HTML or Javascript to build a Web 2.0 
Application. Until the initial release, all development is internal. The 
initial draft of the QiDi Framework 1.0 specifications should also be 
available around this time.

PHP applications that conform to the standards found in the QiDi Framework 
will run in both PHP-Qt and IQuiP without modification. Imagine your favorite 
Web 2.0 calendar or web mail client running directly on your desktop when you 
are at home, and through your web browser when you are using a friend's PC... 
all with the same interface and features. QiDi, along with PHP-Qt and IQuiP, 
makes this not only possible, but very easy to accomplish.
