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!!

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

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

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...

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!

DEV PHP IDE after a week of use :

Cons :
- no regexp search and replace (eek! :eek: )
- no vertical text selection (triple eek! :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! :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 😃
