Hi all, I've been working with php for a while and whenever I have the chance I give some tutorials/speeches about it to other developers, specially those with no experience with web development.
They all find easy but in one point or another start asking about an IDE with a debugger, variable watch etc or RAD tools (they come from Visual Basic/Delphi enviroments). In the IDE part I know we have some paid tools (such as Zend) but can't tell anything that could count as RAD tool. So, I'd like to know if there are any RAD tools , either free or paid that you know. One thing that I am planing to develop, or enhance if I found something similar already, is a form "parser/validator". Suppose your design department comes with a real nice html-css-form and you need to validate it, send the content as email or add in a database. This tool would read the HTML and prompt you for the optional/required fields, validation options (minimum/max length) etc, send via email or add in a database.. Then would generate the php code to validate and perform the required actions. I think there is a classe (from manuel lemos) that does soemthing similar but also generate the form itself based on a definition. What do you thing about it ? The ideia is to speed up the repetitive/boring stuff leting the developer focus on special logic - usually restricted to fewer options. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
