A place to discuss development of the Xataface core.

hey guys,

which ide/editor are you using for php/dataface development?
i have just installed eclipse with PDT (with the xdebug debugger), any thoughts on that choice?
has anyone tried borland's codegear for php yet?
any opinions on for example activestate's komodo ide? or zend studio? or maybe waterproof's phpedit?

by the way, check out this presentation, any comments?
i enjoyed watching it ---> http://oodt.jpl.nasa.gov/better-web-app.mov

cheers
Scott

I use Dreamweaver...but I just looked into Eclipse with PDT and that looks really promising...never tried it myself.

Wordpad is always an option too :)

if you want to get eclipse+pdt+xdebug working check out this link (installing xdebug 0.1.3 that way on a eclipse-pdt-all-in-one install worked for me without a hitch):

i'm not sure i want to go down the dreamweaver path ;) but i have just installed "chami html-kit" to give it a try (eclipse seems rather heavy for any nondebugging stuff).

Thanks for the links... this was a very informative and interesting video to watch.

As far as the tools that I use:

1. PHPMyAdmin

2. TextWrangler (text editor for OS X).

I haven't really gotten into any PHP IDEs, but perhaps I should start looking at them again.Ê For Java development an IDE is essential, but for PHP I find a plain old text editor yields maximum productivity for me.

Not knowing a lot of PHP, I keep things simple

phpMyAdmin
PSPad (because it helps me a bit with syntax)

yeah i just checked out pspad too...looking good!
rj-texted looks very usefull too: http://www.rj-texted.se/
both seem much nicer than chami html-kit i previously mentioned.

like i said, i also really like the eclipse+pdt ide (setup with pdt giving you a php project environment), its just kinda big but also has great debugging features with pdt+xdebug.
