Hi, Good tutorial. 1 point: not sure why you do not use the "NetBeans PHP" IDE configuration available in the SXDE start menu (close to the NetBeans 6.0" menu). (Maybe the first paragraph should show where are the menus to start the stack and Nb6 or Nb php on the desktop.) The Nb PHP is a preconfigured NB setup that only exposes the PHP support. you do not need to download the PHP modules. This is a very attractive combination when you do not want as a PHP developer to have an IDE that can do java, javaee, uml, ruby, etc. This simple PHP configuration also allows you to declare mySql or Postgres databases since the drivers are registered in the IDE. It starts very very fast, compare to the complete Nb6. For NB 6.0, you are correct, it can be extended to add the php module from update center. This complete IDE can also do web apps, jruby etc. Showing Postgres via NetBeans is good, but maybe we should add a chapter about MySQL which is part of SXDE and that can start/stop with the Apache2 server via the Desktop Start menu. NB has the MySQL JDBC driver, and the NB PHP edition has also the DB capabilities. MySQL is the new big thing in SXDE 01/08 :-) Ludo > Regards > Frank J > > _______________________________________________ > > > webstack-discuss mailing list > webstack-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/webstack-discuss >
