**Chris** · Jan 16th, 2003, 03:36 AM

May i know which IDE you guy use to code your PHP?

PHP Studio?
QaDRAM?
Notepad?

Notepad if the page is small, if it is big I will use HTML Kit.

I use EditPlus for all my programming needs ('cept VB)

**techgnome** · Jan 16th, 2003, 05:42 PM

I use PHPEdit.... it's not too shabby, and I learned a little bit of French too....

**Chris** · Jan 16th, 2003, 08:04 PM

Hobo: is the EditPlus is freeware?
techgnome: is the PHPEdit is english version or french

& where can i have a copy of this?

you guys are funny, he said IDE not an editor.

there is only 1 true IDE and it is Zend's

there is only a few IDE's for php and one is at Zend , but it is not free or shareware. it expires like 10 days after you download it. it is very expensive too. there is also another one called masumas or something. it isn't very good.

PHPEdit: http://www.phpedit.com/ and it's mainly English but some dialogs have french. The only thing is it's not quite finished - like it doesn't seem to save the preferences, but it is very good. Has code completion and everything

I like HTML Kit a lot too, the only thing I don't like is that it's syntax highlighting is a bit off sometimes.

IDE <> Editor??? AWRF? How does an IDE <> Editor????
By it's very being, it is an editor....
And BTW: Zend is the engine upon which PHP runs.

**phpman** · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:56 PM

how is an editor an IDE???

and I know Zend is the engine in php, but they also make an IDE for php much like VB's IDE in Visual Source

and IDE is a developement Environment which helps in coding (eg. running the code) without leaving the environment, an editor can't do that.

actually the I in IDE is the key word, Intergrated....

**techgnome** · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:57 PM

Hmmm, I just read the prod description for Zned Studio..... I haven't seen anything in there that PHPEdit can't do.....
So what's the diff???? Both are editors.
As far as I can tell..... both seem to be IDE's too....

**phpman** · Jan 17th, 2003, 03:59 PM

phpedit is weak compared to Zends. does it have debug, I never seen it, it also run the code without leaving the screen, phpedits may do this but again it is weak.

phpedit's screen is so unuser friendly it is not funny. a lot of usless stuff jsut to write code.

I haven't tried, but PHPEdit can do that. There's a way to set up bresakpoint, and step through the code.

**phpman** · Jan 17th, 2003, 04:08 PM

I'm sorry, I was thinking of another editor with much of the same name.

but yes it is a IDE.

but notepad isn't

**techgnome** · Jan 17th, 2003, 04:16 PM

no, notepad isn't..... and I wouldn't use it for editing PHP.... I'll use it for HTML, just not PHP (not yet anyways).....

**ricmitch** · Jan 17th, 2003, 04:24 PM

The one thing that annoys me about Notepad is that it doesn't have line numbers, so when you get:
Parse error expected ' at line 1289
then it's pretty annoying...:roll:

**Memnoch1207** · Jan 17th, 2003, 05:09 PM

DREAMWEAVER MX!

**techgnome** · Jan 17th, 2003, 05:14 PM

Dreamweaver falls into that same category that VID is.... bloatware that tries to do too much for me and only ends up producing code good w/ it's own quirkyness that will work for one browser, but not others.

**phpman** · Jan 17th, 2003, 05:23 PM

again, DW is not an IDE. and it does suck

**Chris** · Jan 17th, 2003, 10:14 PM

yo~ thx a lot guys...

Rick Bull: I'll download the PHPEdit next week when i go back office.

as my office have a better band width

**Rick Bull** · Jan 18th, 2003, 07:57 AM

When you do you should download the manual from their site too. Then if you put it in the PHPEdit directory you can press Ctrl+F1 over a function name and it will bring up the help for it. ALthough I think HTML-Kit does it slightly better, plus you don't have to hold down Ctrl, which is a bit annoying.
