Kiosk application
When I started using PHP-GTK I was at a loss trying to decide what kind of application I should build to learn its intricacies.
This was solved when I stumbled upon kksou’s website where he has placed some sample applications and templates. Among these examples he has created kiosk templates and this got the ball rolling.
My kiosk application has a server-client architecture which means you run the server application on one computer where you add the users and set their access time and clients connect to this server to verify the user.
This application is merely created as an example of the power of PHP-GTK and the way you can mash up several of PHP’s extensions together. At the moment you need to have PHP-GTK with the PDO / PDO-Sqlite extensions enabled in order to run it.
You need to manually edit the client code if you want it to connect to a different ip/port then 127.0.0.1:1987 but work is underway to make this editable in a configuration file.
The admin application features a nifty wizard to set it up (again with thanks to kksou) so enjoy.
