Learn How to Empty GtkContainer/GtkWindow

Jonathan Gotti in a post over the PHP-GTK Community talks about a function, which provides a way to empty a GtkWindow/GtkContainer. He uses this function to refresh a part of his applications by replacing some widgets with others. He says, it can destroy or preserve child widgets depending on your needs.

He explains the function with a sample usage code. However this code is a rewrite for PHP 5 /PHP-GTK2 of the same function he has already posted for PHP4/PHP-GTK1.

He also gives a code for function empty_widget to facilitate better understanding.
