Wow!!!!!

[piersk]

You have got to see this!! (maybe Im being a little too overenthusiastic, but any road)

Dev PHP IDE - a PHP scripting environment that executes the code, it will show you exactly what code the browser will see and best of all (unlike UltraEdit etc...) its FREE!!

[daynah]

piersk, was so enthusiastic that he forgot to give us the link. heh

So here it is: http://devphp.sourceforge.net/

[piersk]

Sorry, got too excited. Man I need to get out more...

[jonsof]

i think that the files hav been removed!!!

Where are they???

[macintyrea]

They seem to have moved to http://sourceforge.net/projects/devphp/

this is a nifty editor... the button set on this is really well done.. i like it

though... for the open button... is that on orange peel on the file ????

[edit]

more things to add...

i frockin love the function sidebar...

but the only thing that editpad has over this is a regular expression search and replace... that would make this the ultimate editor for me...

[mitakadai]

Love the button set to. Worked with Dev-PHP all today and found a few bugs, it throw up some kind of internal error a couple if times when I tried to save (can't remember the exact text). Afterwards I had to kill Dev-PHP in the task manager. Anytime I tried to paste text into the find and replace dialog the text was pasted into the main window instead. I'd like to be be able to add a custom panel on the right for text I cut and paste on a regular basis like in TextPad. Overall a good editor.

[ednark]

hmmm perhaps some of this should be directed toward the actual developer

well actually you can....

the speed code bar thing is just loaded from a text file in the config directory... just pop the sucker open add you code to it... and then reload..


however that is not a built in property...

also something i found that was super helpfull that is not included was braket highlighting... if you are on a { or a ( or a [ it will go ahead and highlight the other one.. WHERE WAS THIS IN AN EDITOR WHEN I WAS DOING LISP!!!!

I am an experienced web developer, although I am fairly new to PHP. It is pretty straightforward so far. It sure is fun (!) learning it's nuances.

For instance, I have read in numerous places that I should turn off register_globals. As a result, of course, most code that I get from users doesn't work unless I go in and modify all the global variables to use $_SERVER, $_GET, etc. It's a good learning tool, of course, but after a while it gets annoying.

This Dev-PHP IDE is a nice tool. I've been using Ultra-Edit for most of my development, and it was easy to use for PHP as well, but I just may start using Dev-PHP. So what does this have to do with the thread? Well... it would be VERY cool if there was an option to indicate whether register_globals was turned on or off. That way, when I go to paste QUERY_STRING from the code bar, it would paste $QUERY_STRING if register_globals is on, and $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] if it were disabled. Yes, a minor thing, but there you go!

for those of you following this post why not step up on over here, where this will be more usefull

DEV PHP IDE after a week of use :

Cons :
- no regexp search and replace (eek! )
- no vertical text selection (triple eek! )
- short keys are not standard and NOT customizable (Ctrl-S is for syntax check and NOT for save, Ctrl-G is no go to line etc. eek! )

Pros :
- nice keyword feature
- PHP integration (never worked here though)
- useful local function directory on right (doesn't show functions in includes though)

Conclusion :
- very nice but not nice enuf (i am a vertical text select addict and i wouldn't dream of a regexp search free editor)

I STAY WITH MSE
