Google doesn't let you have a discussion with a current user of one of
the IDEs and discuss pros/cons. Google is good for looking up things
like a reference encyclopedia. Its not good for having a conversation.

Furthermore, Google prefers to display obsolete information from 2005
which of course has way more links that up-to-date info :)

Just checked out codeLobster, since I'm always on the lookout for "the
latest thing" and I noticed that while it says it's free, it charges for
all the plug-ins?

I use both Eclipse and Dreamweaver on different jobs.

Eclipse is nice because it integrates very well with CVS. It also has a
memory so that if you screw up badly, you can often retrieve an older
version.

Dreamweaver is nice because it has a visualization of the page as well
and also does the ftp directly.

Are you prepared to pay the equivalent of MS Visual Studio
price? If so, you should check out NuSphere PhpED:

http://www.nusphere.com/products/php_debugger.htm

Be aware that the Standard version doesn't support remote
debugging; you'll have to get Professional version for
that.

Cheers,
NC

For a newbie, absolutely not.

First, it assumes the op is running Apache. Many are not.

Second, it assumes PHP errors are being written to the Apache error log.
A sysadmin who knows his stuff will not mix application and server
errors in the same log.

Third, it assumes the user has access to the apache error log. This is
not true on the vast majority of hosts, for security reasons.

Fourth, it assumes the PHP error messages will tell the user everything
they need to know. This is not the case - as is evinced by a lot of
messages in this newsgroup asking what a particular error message means.

Only a newbie would make such a claim.

In which moment did we talk about a free host trolly? Sorry if my

No place. But it applies to virtually every shared host out there.

But then trolls don't understand that, do they?

That is a different matter, I assume almost all here are professionals
working in their own servers.

Or at least developing in their own box?

Not necessarily on their own box, not necessarily on Apache and not
necessarily on Linux.

In fact, I would bet the vast majority of the group is NOT developing on
Linux, for instance.

But even if that is the case - if they are professionals, they will NOT
have their PHP errors mixed in with the web server error log.

But a real professional would understand that. A troll would not.

Mmmm, where would the errors be reported then?

I'm using JavasScript-ajax-apache-php all within one machine. For me,
it's quite handy that PHP notices from the backend scripts go into the
server log, rather than getting mixed in with the ajax responses. This
is OS X 10.6.4.

A real professional wouldn't resort to name calling as a method of
furthering his argument.

To the PHP error log - where ever the sysadmin specifies in the php.ini
file.

I guess then that is why most of them have called you so since I am here.

Unspecified, as far as I can tell.

The actual behaviour suits me fine: as part of the application, I'm
running an instance of apache under the user's username and group. It
starts when the user starts the app and terminates when the user quits
the app; it listens only to localhost. And if it manages to catch any
PHP errors into its logfile (part of the set of logfiles for the app),
then so much the better. That way I don't, as part of the app's
installation process, have to mess with any system files (which php.ini
is).

Running a private instance of apache also means I get to control its
config file, and I don't interfere with the instance of apache that OS X
will run if the user turns on web sharing.

Real professionals don't respond to trolls.

Except they are not trolls. You just call everyone who disagrees with
you a troll. You really ought to look up what it means.

That can be fine for you. However, in a production environment, a good
sysop knows to separate the system errors from the application errors.

Geoff, you should look back through this thread and see who the real
troll is.

And yes, I know exactly what a troll is.

ROFLMAO! I contribute more help to this group in one week than you do
in a year. And one big difference - my help is ACCURATE. I don't tell
people to use commands which aren't available on their system and to
search files they don't have.
