"PHP-ext" -like PHP widget libraries?

Question

I asked a similar question some time ago (actually almost 1 year) ... then I was looking for a good widget library generated from the -side server in PHP. The most interesting candidate I found was PHP-ext , but the project seems almost dead.

So, a year later a new open source project appeared? Or any widget (PHP-driven) that you use and find useful?

Edit: just to make it clearer, I'm looking for a set from a stand-alone (which I can use without using a holistic structure) PHP classes or libraries to handle the generation of widgets on the client side (HTML + CSS + JS).

technically, PHP cannot do widgets on its own. To create widgets and use PHP to process requests between the client and server, you must use a Javascript structure (for example, JQuery UI). I personally use Zend / ZendX with jQuery and it works great. This is a great structure for small projects, but still uses good coding techniques.

In short, I would suggest you use the JQuery UI and just write the query handlers manually. It is much simpler and concise.
