Netbeans <http://netbeans.org/index.html>. Make sure you get the package
with the PHP plug-ins. There are a variety of different sets available.

Eclipse, netbeans, I prefer eclipse more, but I don't really like large ides.
Or if you want something light, vim

Hi,
I can suggest Eclipse with PDT
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/

I like eclipse as well, you can combine it with svn which will be a great plus
if you develop on several machines.

I'm not running mac, but my windows/linux eclipse setup is more than transparent
enough, at times I have to remember which machine I am on ;)
phpeclipse gives me a suitable php based editor to go with it, and the other
integrated editors such as html, javascript and css fill all the gaps.

It sounds like Eclipse is the clear preference in this group... I'll
give it a try, and see how I like it!

It depends what you need/want it to do. Personally, I'm happy with emacs
apart from the fact I can't easily look up symbols (emacs is a text
editor, and doesn't know anything about php symbols, unless you're
prepared to put in some work).

cvs/svn works beautifully in eclipse. It is just a pity that none of the DVCS
systems work properly yet :(
I'm having to do the hg/git version control outside eclipse and I've given up
trying to do that on the windows machines. But hopefully some of the missing
functions will start to appear. Accessing the php source on svn works nicely :)

Cygwin? Both git and Mercurial packages seem to exist, although I don't
use them so can't say how good, bad, or otherwise, they might be.

git's private version of cygwin does not play nicely with an existing cygwin
installation. git can be used with windows - if you don't use anything else as
well. Hg still needs a number of updates on it's eclipse plugin to handle
sub-repo's and a similar problem affects git's. Response from those development
teams - stick with cvs or svn if you are using 'modular' projects.
TortoiseHg does a good job layered outside eclipse on both windows and linux,
but this is well outside the 'php' area of discussion ;) Although providing a
stable development platform for php development is probably of interest.

FWIW while I prefer Eclipse overall as an IDE, I found the PHP support in
NetBeans to be superior. It's been a year since I used Eclipse for PHP.
Maybe the PHP plugins for Eclipse have improved enough. NetBeans supports
GIT and Mercurial as well.

The newsgroup server seems to have a repeated-visit throttle, or whatever.
For the last two weeks at least, I can only download 2 or 3 messages and then I
get repeated time-outs. It acts like the DoS or flood prevention is kidding in
too aggressively.
Get timeouts when trying to post also. Like this message; it required that
disconnect, wait for a while, and reconnect to upload it.

Al, I've responded to this multiple times, but the fact is, this
is not the appropriate place to complain about it. Please use

Hello-
I am trying to add create a user account with the ldap_add function. However I
get the error below when it is invoked. Does anyone have ideas what may be

Line 354 is the actual call to ldap_add().

What LDAP server are you using (Active Directory, openLDAP,
iPlanet, eDirectory, et cetera)? You may want to try swapping out
ldap_add() for ldap_mod_add().

It seems ldap_mod_add is for adding attributes to a dn that is already there.

You could add a line in to your code:
include "ldap-blue-pill";
That should fix any performance issues ;)
(note, I did try posting earlier with a much funnier reply, but the email was

Just use the proper escaping and save what is received:
example: mysql_real_escape_string() or a addcslashes() for DBs without
a comparable function or preg_replace() for those that escape differently:
If you definitely don't want certain things then strip them:
striptags()
If you may need it then leave it.

Depends on whether you want to render HTML. If so, and you can trust it
(you or a trusted source entered it) then do nothing. Otherwise if you
want to show the HTML as source tags then:
htmlentities()
If you don't want it then strip it before insert or when displaying,
your call:
striptags()

The textarea prevents HTML inside from being rendered and the form
submit should automatically URL encode the data in the textarea so I
don't see the need to do anything.

Encode the values that you intend to pass:
urlencode()

If you want to maybe show some HTML as source tags then:
htmlentities()
If you don't want HTML then strip it when displaying:
striptags()

Same as #4.
BTW, these are very nice for working with data:
filter_var()
filter_var_array()
filter_input()
filter_input_array()
