POLL: Which IDE do you use to develop PHP? - Page 4

Erwin Moller

Hi group,

Just curious what IDEs are popular nowadays.

What do you expect from an IDE?
Debugging?
Do you use your IDE for debugging, or do you work like me? (Just use some
smart-placed var_dump() to dive into possible problems?)

Syntax highlightning?
Anything else?

I use Eclipse 2.1 with PHP-plugin.
Reason: It is for free and works fine.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

It's interesting that almost everyone responding to this poll is using
nothing more than a text editor (or a fancy text editor at most).
Someone must be buying all those bloated IDEs out there; if it's not
hardcore Web developers, who is it?

I've always preferred to keep things simple, and it reassures me that
I'm not alone in this. HTML and its breathren were designed to be easy
to write and maintain with simple tools, so I've never understood why
anyone would drop hundreds of dollars on bloated front ends that hide
the real code (and may even make it inaccessible), complicate both
development and maintenance, and bloat the final Web pages so that they
execute a hundred times more slowly than if they were written in
Notepad.

I agree that it is best to keep things simple. I do my
development using vim on Linux and run my code on XP, Linux, and
Solaris.

I find that it is quicker and easier to cut and paste and global
edits using vi then to use a point and click, drag and drop
editor.

I know that lots of people use the bloated tools and I suspect
that it is either because it was easy to find an "IDE for
Idiots" or a "Learn IDE in 24 hours" book somewhere for whatever
IDE they are using or because they don't know how to program and
don't want to know.

PHP poll results question

by: JDJones | last post by:

I'd like to put up two polls on my web site on a single page. I will be using a free remotely hosted poll service. That part is easy. But I want to remove the two individual <a href> links that have to be clicked to call the current results individually and replace them with a single link that will be used to call the results of both pages and display them at the same time, most likely in a table. Can PHP be used to do this? How would...

Problem with select.poll and popen2

by: Magnus Lycka | last post by:

I'm trying to read standard out in a process started with popen2 in a non-blocking way. (Other good ways of doing this than the one I tried are appreciated.) I've tried to dumb down my code to see what happens, and socket.poll seems to behave very strangely. I've tried to use the .poll method for the poll object with and without a timeout, but in either case, the output randomly switches between on of the versions below. It runs fast,...

Poll's options - two queries to MySQL or Unserialize()?

by: webcm123 | last post by:

I'm making some changes in poll module. I don't know which method of storing options of poll is better. The main data of polls are in POLLS table. Speed and efficiency is the most important issue. There are 2 methods: 1. Storing options in ANSWERS table and executing 2 queries to get poll's data and options. Number of records connected with a poll in that table is equal to number of poll's options.
