PHP-GTK is not much more than a CLI program that creates its own GUI. 
Anything you can do with a "normal" PHP application you can do with 
PHP-GTK.  Unfortuanately I haven't found any books dedicated to PHP-GTK 
yet.  Adam and David's PHP Cookbook does have a chapter on PHP-GTK 
though.  For me the hardest part of getting any GUI stuff running was 
trying to get PHP-GTK installed with all of the goodies.  I still can't 
get Scintilla to work with it.
