Hi all, I do a lot of coding in PHP and I'm a bit old school so I still write all my code from scratch and never use libraries. However, since it's 2010 now I am thinking of looking at other options to speed up the coding process and leverage off what others might have already coded before dozens of times! I am currently using Dreamweaver CS4 and kinda like using it (from an interface point of view) but am wondering if you would recommend using something else - or, in general what's everyone else using out there? I have been told by some to install Codeigniter ... are there any libraries that plug straight into Dreamweaver so that I can continue using it but still have access to some external pre-written code snippets? What're you guys using? dfsweb
I use jEdit, notepad and Dreamweaver CS5 I have written many base sets of code which I use time and time again has saved me a great deal of time! Kind regards, Glen
I am always weary about how my php looks ie: format wise, further to that, theres hardly a program that does it for you, is there ? Is it just a matter of opinion or does it really matter.
I'm a second vote for PHP Designer 7. I only like dreamweaver for creating my XHTML and CSS Layouts in...
I used dreamweaver for years but it was a resource hog so I stopped using it. I tried a few other IDE's like eclipse and notepad++, but now I use NetBeans IDE it's by far my favorite. It has a library manager (I think thats what your looking for) but I've never used it. I just rewrite everything from scratch since my projects are usually completely different.
Zend Studio; fully customizable code formatter, detailed syntax coloring and code tracing with Zend Server (very detailed benchmark of your application) are only a few things that I really like about it. If you need a free IDE, go for NetBeans, it's the best in it's category.
