>>> 1a) What is your currently preferred PHP IDE? NuSphere PHPEd for a few years now.
>>> 1b) What are the pros and cons of it? Pros: - Syntax coloring and highlighting - Code completion for all classes and functions (not just built-in ones) - Code completion for freshly introduced/defined variables and functions on the fly. - Realtime code validation - Supports HTML, JS and CSS code coloring and basic completion - Auto complete for docblocks - PHP Manual built in to IDE - Debugging integration - Database integration - Built in PHPDocumentor - Built in HTMLTidy - Built in SOAP client - NuSphere is always on the pulse of PHP develepment. PHPEd 5.9 supports PHP 5.3 and the code nav and explorer are updated to support name spacing. Cons: - "Search in files" is rather un-intuitive compared to software such as Dreamweaver - File structure update not automatic. Must manually refresh in most cases except delete or copy from inside the IDE itself. - Some odd default keyboard shortcuts - No SVN integration (CVS only) >>> 2) What other PHP IDE's have you had experience with? - Eclipse PDT - Zend Studio 6 and 7 - Dreamweaver (still use for templating) - UltraEdit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
