 How can i create a web page that include some gadgets? what kind of
 technology do i have to use to creating web pages like igoogle and
gmail?
 How can i create them by php?

You probably want to look at a portal, something like LifeRay. If that
is too far out, then maybe Drupal is more to your liking.

Hi. thanks for your reply. I learned php and I have created several web
application before. But all i ever do, is creating php files with one html
form an some php tags that manipulate data and sends it to a database or
another web page (or to itself). Now i like try building a web pages that
have several widgets, gadgets or anything. Therefore i make a web page like
a portal that each segments work independently of each other, something like
home page of gmail or in igoogle or anything. I examined HTML frames in a
project, recently. But, indeed it wasn't a thing that i looking for. Because
the gadgets can have been removed by user, but HTML frames are static absurd
things in web page.
*In summary, I looking for a technology to build php pages with some
independent sections.*

 Wow!

 Well, first what is it you want to do? Make another iGoogle or Gmail, as
 they are both pretty different beasts. One is a page of 'gadgets' as you
 call them, the other is a web-based email application.

 I'm guessing from your post that PHP is new to you. First then, I guess you
 need to decide on where are you getting the gadget parts from? If you can
 find things online that you can embed as Flash apps or iframes, then you
 probably won't need PHP at all. If you are planning on building them
 yourself, then you really will need to learn PHP. There is no magic solution
 to this question I'm afraid, and the scope of it is pretty huge, so you need
 to think about the parts that make it up and tackle each one.


   Thanks,
