A bit late :-) 1a) What is your currently preferred PHP IDE?
TextPad 1b) What are the pros and cons of it? Pros: - Fast - Efficient (can handle 700 MB text files without a problem) - Powerful text editing (I haven't found an editor with 'block select' yet) - Regular expression find/replace - Extendible colour formatting (for many file types) - Macros Cons: - No autocompletion or navigation whatsoever It's essentially the most powerful text editor I can find. Not really a PHP IDE though. 2) What other PHP IDE’s have you had experience with? I have tried Eclipse PDT, but it felt too big (300 MB) when most of the time, I am just writing simple PHP scripts. Eclipse still lacks decent support for SVN (I either have to use the Eclipse client, or have to deal with broken SVN metadata - I prefer TortoiseSVN). Also Dreamweaver, EditPad, Notepad and vim. :-) Don't need FTP support because everything goes through SVN anyway. Good to see another Textpad user on this list :D Jevon On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 1:28 PM, Cliff Black <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > Inspired by Berend’s OT post about nVidia’s IDE of choice, I'd like to > gauge the following amongst the NZ PHPers: > > > > 1a) What is your currently preferred PHP IDE? > > 1b) What are the pros and cons of it? > > > > 2) What other PHP IDE’s have you had experience with? > > > > If I have enough results, I'll stick some graphs up etc. > > > > > > Here's my answers: > > > > 1a) What is your currently preferred IDE? > > > > Zend Studio 7.1 Beta > > > > 1b) What are the pros and cons of it? > > > > Pros: Full integration with the Zend suites - Server/Platform/Debug and of > course Zend Framework. > > SVN integration, and the ability to work on remote projects via > SFTP/FTP > > > > Cons: Still beta, as it fixes a nasty bug with 'intellisense' > > Prone to the odd crash. > > > > 2) What other IDE’s have you had experience with? > > > > Zend Studio 5/6/7 > > Eclipse PDT > > VS.php > > Dreamweaver > > Basic Text Editors (notepad/vim etc) > > > > ~ C > > > > PS: originally sent from the wrong address – I assume Google groups killed > it for being from an un registered address. > > > > > __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus > signature database 4527 (20091020) __________ > > The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. > > http://www.eset.com > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
