Earlier, I asked some questions about what you use in developing PHP
applications. First, the questions, and then the answers:
Questions
1. Code libraries used:
a) Metabase (for database abstraction)
b) PHPLib
c) PEAR
d) BinaryCloud
e) other
2. What code editor do you use?
3. How many are using templates, and if so, are you using a template
framework:
a) PHPLib
b) Smarty
c) other?
Answers (number of respondents in brackets)
1. adodb (1)
BinaryCloud (1)
A mixture of PEAR's database abstraction, PHPLIB's template class
and my own libraries and classes (1)
2. UltraEdit (1), DreamWeaver 4 (2), AceHTML4 Pro from visicom.com (1),
Homesite (2), vim (1), FrontPage (1), PHPCoder http://www.phpide.de (2),
emacs (1), TextPad (1), ConTEXT (1), EditPlus (1)
3. Smarty (1)
Summary: not a huge statistical sample, but interestingly there were hardly
any duplicate responses. Also, it seems using published templates and code
libraries is not that popular, i.e. most people are writing their own code
from scratch.
