I found Komodo Edit on sourceforge, and find it extremely useful for
long scripts, ith the automatic indentation that cleans code where
loops and conditional where not indented.

Komodo edit is OK, but you have to pay to get the entire IDE.
Personally, I prefer Eclipse. It's completely free and has more
features available. But then I use it for Java, also.

I just use notepad++ and run it through a validator.

So far, the most convenient I found for php is Komodo free. I see no
use for the very expensive thing.

I played with Eclipse. It probably is better for Java, but I find it
somehow cumbersome for php.

Thank you for the pointer, though.

Urban myth. [0] I have been or I am using Eclipse (currently 4.3 “Kepler”)
for (from A to Z):

- Android development (that is only partially Java) (ADT by Google)
- C/C++ (C/C++ Development Tools, CDT)
- CSS (Web Tools Platform, WTP)
- Databases and SQL development (Data Tools Platform, DTP)
- (X)HTML (WTP)
- i18n with gettext (gted by Simon Martinelli)
- Java (Java Development Tools, JDT)
- JavaScript and other ECMAScript implementations (JSDT in WTP)
- LaTeX (TeXlipse)
- Perl (Eclipse Perl Integration, EPIC)
- PHP (PHP Development Tools, PDT)
- Prolog (Prolog Development Tools by University of Bonn)
- Python (PyDev by Fabio Zadrozny)
- Regular expressions (QuickREx by Bastian Bergerhoff)
- Shellscripts
- SVN integration (Subversive by Polarion)
- Task-based editing and planning, Bugzilla and Mantis integration (Mylyn)
- Tcl/Expect (Dynamic Languages Toolkit, DLT)
- UML (ArgoEclipse)
- XML applications (like MathML, SVG, XSLT etc.) (WTP)
- other languages and file formats (EclipseColorer or embedded editors)

With proper configuration, no memory or speed issues even on this older
notebook.

I will probably be using it soon for

- git integration (EGit)

(Needless to say, I am a Friend of Eclipse.)

> but I find it somehow cumbersome for php.

In what way?

Zend Studio [1] is based on Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) [2].
Eclipse and PDT are for free; Zend Studio is only for free for ZCEs or
during a 30 days trial period. By contrast to Komodo IDE, all of them are
available for more than two operating systems as they are based on Java.

I am currently using PDT 3.2 and find it very useful instead of cumbersome,
although I am looking forward to Zend Studio's advanced features. [3]

And I was telling you about my overall positive experience with it that does
not confirm your feeling. You should be grateful that I did that instead of
complaining.

> Of course, you needed to assert your ego by stating 'Urban myth'.

I beg your pardon? It *is* an urban myth that because Eclipse started out
as a Java IDE it is only good or “probably better” for Java development.
That needed to be rectified, and it needed to be mentioned that as Zend,
“the *PHP* company”, is building their IDE on top of the Eclipse platform
and have it based on PDT.

> Need to alwatys have the last word and demean others ?

In what way has my posting demeaned you?

No, your reaction indicates that instead. And a poor command of the English
language (it is spelled _esteem_).

> Not agressive statement like you.

In which way was the information I kindly provided to you and other
subscribers of the newsgroup *in my free time* *aggressive*?

You are deluding yourself or have been mislead by others.

Can you explain even hypothetically how that could be? You type with
the same fingers in both languages, both can use syntax coloration
in similar ways, if there's a syntax checker it is 99.44% likely to
use a set of rules to do the checking and there's nothing about java
that's more amenable to rules-based syntax checking than php is, both
do version-control things using exactly the same tools and the the
build-test cycle doesn't look particularly different. There may be
differences in what debuggers might be used but those are all plug-ins
anyway as far as I know. So what "better for Java" are you thinking of?

Or are you just pulling that out of your colon so you have something
contradictory to say?

Don't worry about "Pointed Head". He's a well known troll (in several
newsgroups).

I think if you were to work with Eclipse more you might find it more
usable. It does take a bit of getting used to, but it does a lot more
than Komodo's free version. Debugging PHP is one great example. I also
find it easier to manage multiple projects than Komodo.

Eclipse is a full IDE, not just an editor. I used to use Komodo's free
version (I like it) and tried their paid version (it was OK). But I
eventually switched to Eclipse. I find it much better.

http://validator.w3.org/

This validator checks the html output to make sure the code complys with
the guidelines.
It is a great tool for finding things that are wrong.
If you used php to create the page and it finds error, then you need to
find out where in the php code the error was generated and learn how to fix
it.

That is a damn cheap shot asswipe.
I'm not going to explain the differences.
That's up to the user to find out and learn about.

On my music site, I use a combination of javascript and PHp to create
related pages.
10 lines of code beats writing four hundred lines and having to store
hundreds of seperate files.

That's not a cheap shot. Just the truth. Or you would understand the
difference between well-formatted PHP code (which Komodo and Eclipse
both do) and valid HTML.

And you can't even explain the difference.

Richard, what you recommend is OK if all you need to do is validate
HTML, but as Mitch will find out if he has not already, a great deal of
PHP written may have nothing to do with HTML output in which case the
HTML validation would be useless.

Mitch is looking for, from what I gather, a tool to help write PHP.
I have personally found a good tool provides, but not limited to the
following.

* Easy formatting of indented and readable code.
* Tool-tips to speed up reuse of variables and function arguments.
* Color coding or different elements of the code such and function,
variables and definitions.
* Track back to function definitions.
* Source level error checking. Example: Find the simple syntax errors
as you go.

To name a few.

Though none of this is required to write PHP, anything to help spend
less time writing, testing and debugging the better.

Notepad just does not provide a practical approach when compared to what
else is available. I have heard some hold it as a badge of honor that
they use a simple text editor to write code, but I doubt they still use
a horse and wagon to get groceries.

Anyhow I personally use PHPEd from nusphere. I have not used the others
in-depth, except for trial but from what I remember, nothing stood out
as NOT a good tool.

I have used that application before, last time in 2007. IIRC I found it
rather good at first.

But then I found out that I can do remote debugging with Eclipse PDT and
Zend Debugger as well, and that I do not need a separate application for PHP
development anymore (I was developing CMS with HTML, CSS, XML, and Python,
and some from-scratch PHP applications at the time because PHP could access
both Access and MySQL databases easily). Later I found out that Eclipse
with Xdebug works even better because I would not have to set up specific
port forwarding for remote debugging.

And when I happened to develop on my notebook on GNU/Linux instead of the
office computer on Windows, I found Eclipse PDT and Xdebug working there,
too, by contrast to PHPEd. Xdebug, by contrast to Zend Debugger, as a
Debian package that through the package manager fitting the platform and
installed PHP version automagically; extracting the correct .dll/.so from
the ZendDebugger.zip and updating php.ini was quite tedious by comparison.

So you're admitting that either you're a dweeb or you like to write in a
way so as to exclude common, ordinary people. Or perhaps both.

You have misspelled “I, Tim, should be admitted because I, blissfully

Yeah I was quite disappointed when I found phped not to work on the Mac
without a special, for lack of better words, driver.

I have used eclipse in the past but not with a debugger. Might be
something worth looking at.

What sort of "driver" are you referring to? Just turning on mod_php in
Apache? Or installing MySQL from the mysql web site? The process of
doing that hasn't changed much since 10.4 and is documented in various
sites on the web.

I think you should find someone who knows MacOS who can help you
directly.

It is not the PHP in apache that I was having issues with MAC, it is the
phped IDE program from nusphere.

It was probably confusing when I mentioned 'driver'. I guess it is
called WINE that is needed.

But thanks anyhow.

I don't use an IDE, per se. I have Zend, but I use BBEdit since I've had
it forever. It a good general code/text editor that knows about all
sorts of languages, does syntax color coding and in some case will do a
function lookup in the Reference for you. Haven't tried it on anything
other than C, CSS, PHP, PERL, SQL, or HTML. But it supports way more
than that.

It appears to be a windows program. I downloaded the trial version. At
no point that I could see did it offer more than one version or indicate
the system requirements. So I threw it away.

What does that have to do with the topic ? You can't exist beyond being

Can't you just try to be civilized and refrain from colonics ? Unlike
you, I do not need to be nasty to exchange ideas and respect others
opinions.

I could have read your thoughts and even thanked you for sharing them,

You are right, Scotty, I am looking for help in php. I have been using
html for so long, it is not my main problem.

I forgot to mention that I am using Mac (ouch, I see a hurd of people
chasing me with forks). Unfortunately, I will not be able to play with
PHPEd, though it looks impressive.

Let me get into what I would additionally need :
- Auto indent (I developed under RealBasic and it does that very well)

So far, Komodo checks php snytax on the fly, enhances code with colors,
, and it provides check of open and closed braces {}, which is very
nice. Which is quite allright and gets a lot of work done.

I was looking for knowledgeable and positive remarks and pointers. All
have been warmly appreciated. Thank you !

I did have an older copy of BBEdit but had forgotten it provided
colored code and stuff. Downloaded the last version, it is indeed very
nice. Nicer even the moto of the publisher "it does'nt suck" ! Finally
some humour in the dull world of editors.

Love the "Zap gremlins" option in the dit menu.

Could not locate the equivalent of Komodo's "select to matching brace",
great to debug php when closing braces are all over the place.

Thanks for the reminder, though.

well plenty of editors do all; that. I use Geany for example.

It's actually almost an IDE.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Mitch,

Tim is just calling a known troll on his posts. Pointed Head is well
known for worthless, off-topic posts, often times criticizing people on
their spelling or choice of words just so he can stroke his ego.

That's easy. Double-click just inside an opening or closing brace
selects to the corresponding closing or opening brace. Or, IIRC, you do
cmd-B, it spreads a selection in both directions from the current
insertion point to the enclosing braces.

You might want to look at TextWrangler also from BareBones, which has
most of BBedit but is free.

Try Netbeans with the PHP enhancements. It's free.

I personally prefer PhpStorm. I was a Java developer before and used
IntelliJ, the Java IDE from the same people. Yes, it costs money. Its
more than worth it, if you learn to utilize the advanced features.

I tried Eclipse long ago, and maybe it has come a long way, but I find
that it is a few steps behind whatever Jetbrains produces. It does have
a larger community behind it however, and that may be worth something.
Though Jetbrains being a commercial company, they are more likely to
address any bugs, or they risk losing your business.

One of my colleagues uses vi and zsh, with a highly custom
configuration. I like vi, but for any real size project I prefer an IDE
with good navigation features, code completion, auto-importing, and
refactoring support.

It all comes down to personal preference and budget.

Michael,

I agree Netbeans is also very good. I've used it in the past, and was
happy with it. It's just a personal preference that I like Eclipse. If
Eclipse weren't available (or as good as it is), I probably would be
using Netbeans.

A friend started using IntelliJ at a prior job that ended with the
company being bought out. He ended up buying his own personal copy of
IntelliJ for his laptop mostly because places where he's be hired or
contract only would use Eclipse.

The last company hired him to 'fix their build process' which he did.
Unfortunately the chief tech officer made most of the bad decisions that
lead to the broken build system and my friend wasn't very politic in
hiding his displeasure at the lame-brained stupid assed design decisions
he had to fix. When they came to him to turn the app into an iPhone
app, he told them to buy him a Mac. When he told them that iPhone apps
can only be developed on MacOS and signed by Xcode, they went away
grumbling. They fired him at the end of the day.

Recruiters still call him for 'hot positions' in this company. He tells
them the horror story and advises them to focus their efforts on making
money elsewhere.
