用于PHP的ExtJS Wrapper

Question

I am considering developping a new website in PHP using the ExtJS library from Sencha.

I thought that it would be great to have a wrapper in PHP which allows me to create the Javascript definitions of the ExtJS UI.

This way, I would be able to define the whole UI of my website using PHP which would be in my opinion pretty convenient.

So far, I have been looking at PHP-Ext which is an open source wrapper written a few years ago and not being maintained anymore. Hence, it is not adapted to ExtJS 4 (the latest version).

I would like to know if you know a better wrapper for ExtJS in PHP?

If there is none, I would be wondering if my idea is actually good... and I would like to know if someone thinks it doesn't make sense.

The key selling point of ExtJS is that it does so much on the client. The only thing I know of that's similar to what you're asking for is GWT for ExtJS. Even with Java, all of the developers I know who use ExtJS prefer to leave the Java code purely to supporting ExtJS like session management and REST services to power AJAX operations.
