I'd like to create a desktop widget for a PHP application. Any suggestions / insights on how to go about with it.

Can yhou just expand slightly on what it is you actually want help with

I think you are talking about cool java script widgets (!?). In that case there are a lot of platforms out there. Few I can think of right now are gwt (google web tool kits), Dojo, mootools... there are a lot more. You may research on few of them but it is wise to stick with one.
