PHP - Javascript controls

I am currently developing (another) open source CMS in PHP and I would like to use javascript controls, especially for the admin panel. The question is, are there any free open source controls (for creating javascript Editable Grids, Trees, tabs, etc.) that have an interface to PHP?

I've experimented with ExtJs in the past, but while its usability and beauty when it comes to implementing it with php, it is frustrating. I have also tried the PHP-EXT and ExtPHP libraries, but I was disappointed with their generated code, their limited ExtJs implementation, and lack of proper documentation.

Coolite is a good implementation for .NET, but I haven't found anything similar for php. This surprised me given the years of php development on the market.

Of course, it is always possible to implement different libraries for each component, but this will become an insurmountable task, in addition to the incompatibilities and differences in look and feel that will arise.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I really like jQuery with their new jQuery UI . Also, check out their plugin list for more tools.



But you might like mootools .

It's actually best to just write JavaScript interactions between your JS library and PHP. The generic generated code will never be completely mutable and most JS libraries only take one day to learn how to use.



Your best bet is to go with jQuery and jQuery UI as it has a lot of documentation and support.

You may also like Yahoo! A UI library that might be closer to Coolite.

There is one framework I have seen for building thick client web applications called Cappuccino . Maybe overkill for what you want to achieve, but the demo just looks so delicious.
