Problem

GtkHTML comes with a lot of built-in features and functions.

In Part 3 of this series, I'll show you how to allow the user to zoom in and out (i.e. increase or decrease the font) by clicking on the zoom in/out button in the toolbar as shown below:

How to create a php gtk browser using gtkhtml - Part 3 - zoom in and out?


Solution
  • To zoom in, use $gtkhtml->zoom_in().
  • To zoom out, use $gtkhtml->zoom_out().
  • To reset zoom, use $gtkhtml->zoom_reset().

Important Note:

  • This only works for PHP-GTK2 compliled with the additional library GtkHTML.
  • For linux, you have to recompile php-gtk2 to include this library.
  • For windows, you may refer to the article How to install PHP-GTK2 on windows. The latest beta release from official php-gtk2 website comes complete with GtkHTML.
  • In the php.ini, don't forget to add php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_html2.dll to turn on GtkHTML.
  • Lastly, the most "tricky" part in running GtkHTML is that to run this script, you have to use gconfd-2 | php script.php.

    If you have installed the beta release of PHP-GTK2 on windows as outlined in this article, you will find the program gconfd-2.exe in the root directory of php-gtk.
  • In the event that you cannot get this sample code to work, I would suggest that you try to do a fresh install of the beta-release of PHP-GTK2 (details here). It should work out-of-the-box (just need to add php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_html2.dll in php.ini as explained above). Note that you can still keep your original copy of php-gtk2 while having this new version.
  • You will most likely see the warning (php.exe:5348): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkselection-win32.c:1068: OpenClipboard failed: Invalid window handle.. Not really sure how to fix this yet. The script seems to run ok, though.
