Php Ide?

[sail3005]

Are there any good php IDE's?

Preferably with syntax coding type stuff. Like interdev, except it doesn't need the WYSIWYG stuff.

thanks

anyone? does everyone just use notepad?

yes I use notepad, or ConText which is a notepad program but has color coding.

there is one called php coder, I used it once but never used it a couple of times. never really got into it. also hooks up to apache so you can see the results in you browser.

wow, sounds cool. i'll look into it.

I use wordpad or notepage

Wordpad has beter tab spacing ;)

ActiveState's Komodo color codes it and can debug (haven't tried getting that to work yet). Also, Allaire Homesite (now Macromedia Homesite, I think) will at least color code PHP.

[sail3005]

do you know if either of those, or any php IDE has code insight?

[da_silvy]

like VB?

nope

[sail3005]

grrrr....

Code insight is my favorite thing in the world. Hmmmm...*gets idea for app* :)

[da_silvy]

you will get used to the names of the functions soon enough ;)

Homesite has code insight for HTML, but not PHP.

Komodo I'm not sure as I don't have PHP installed on my workstation, just my test server. It has weird code insight for Perl -- it only has insight into functions you already type in -- like if you have XML DOM object $xml, you maunally type $xml->getElementsByTagName, then the next time you type $xml->, the code insight kicks in with just that one function.

I am starting to like the PHP coder a lot, and it has a cool preview thing. i guess i can live without code insight for a while, and just stick with good ole' memorization :)

[da_silvy]

I miss the insight in C++ :rolleyes:

Although it does have a neat one for the API

[sail3005]

vc++ has insight, so does borland.
