php-gtk will give you the least hassle, however any choice comes with a bit of a learning curve. I'm now using php-gtk + the Roadsend PHP compiler to compile PHP desktop applications into native 32 bit ELF executables.

I should also add, it was not my choice to use PHP for such a task, I would much rather write desktop apps using C or Python. In the above case, I inherited something that was prototyped using PHP, which never got re-written. It was faster to just get it to compile than it was anything else.

I don't want to kick off a flame fest on the merits of using PHP as a prototyping tool .. in essence, any dynamically typed language could be used as such, depending on what had to be prototyped.

I would, however, encourage you to keep going on your self-study, once you grasp the concepts of the gtk bits that PHP exposes, consider looking into Python if you want to create applications that will be released to the wild.

There's also PHP-Qt

TitaniumApp. It allows you to design your GUI using Javascript, CSS and HTML5 (Runs a reasonably up to date version of webkit) and allows your code logic to be in PHP, Python, Ruby or Javascript. Produces executables for Linux, OSX and Windows.

If Windows-only is enough for you I've used miniPHP successfully for a real-world project.
