The D-BUS Inter Process Communication mechanism is the basis for many  system-related functionality on Linux-based systems. Both GNOME, KDE, as well  as the Open Moko Linux computing platform use it extensively for everything  related to talking to services and hardware. Skype, as well as other applications, provide D-BUS APIs as well.

In this presentation I will be presenting a PHP/D-BUS integration to allow PHP  to talk to D-BUS aware applications. I will demonstrate controlling Skype from  PHP, as well as the implementation of PHP-GTK based applications on the  OpenMoko to talk to, and use the different hardware services it offers, such as  GSM and GPS.
