zend? what is it

[scuzzo]

Went to the site still dotn know what its about, what sthe main purpose of it?

[stolzyboy]

there are many different zend products, but Zend Studio lets you debug your PHP code without saving to a webserver and running the code, it will tell you where it thinks there is an error, like parse errors, missing curly braces, etc...

Zend Studio also has other IDE features like code completion.

[scuzzo]

but doesnt php already display errors that tell you whats wrong like...

Parse error: parse error in /home/scuzzosplace/public_html/info.php on line 15

or are you saying Zend, tells SPECIFICALLY whats wrong .

[stolzyboy]

it will tell you where it is, and then you don't have to go to IE and run http://localhost/phppage.php, you just hit i think debug or something like that in zend and it will point you to the right spot

it also does many other things for you just can't think of them off the top of my head

your best bet would be to go to zend.com and click on Zend Studio product and take a peek at the features

You can do the kind of debugging typically found in IDEs for other languages (with breakpoints, watches, etc.).
