DMS - php-ish question

[wilku]

Hello

As my "lonely woolf" *) 😉 days in programming are over and I'm starting to collaborate with another programmers on php projects, I was wondering if somewhere there exists some document management system for programmers.

Like I'm editing some file and this file will be locked for editing by others. Or that will answer the question "where did I put this function anyway?"...

Do you know of some system like this (or similar, I won't be picky about the details 🙂 )?

*)wilku means wolf in polish

do a search on "source control", you'll find examples like SVN, Version Manager, etc...

Great. Thanks! I needed those words 🙂
I found some tutorial on source control

Anybody has any opinions on Subversion (it's open source, so it's a big advantage to me 😉 )?

[stolzyboy]

that's what SVN is 😉

we used to use that here at work, but have since gone to version manager for "corporate" reasons

I'm happy with Subversion. If you're a Windows shop then Tortoise is a good SVN-aware shell extension.
