I am looking for the best php IDE which I can put on a usb stick and take it anywhere I might need to develop with it. Right now I have my whole development web server on a usb drive which makes it nice because you can hook it up and develop on any computer. Right now I am using Komodo Edit 5.1 Portable, only because it is the best I can find at the moment. Does anyone have other suggestions?
not really an ide, but I prefer to use notepad2, contains syntax highlighting. It's only 100kb in size.
Just get a text editor that has options for php. I use gPHPedit, a version of gedit with modifications for PHP.
USB-stick with PortableApps, TextPad or Notepad++ and EasyPHPportable - all you need, even your own working webserver on a USB-stick.
I use pspad and you can install it on a usb drive and just load it anywhere. That is what I do for school.
I use online tool like filethinge. even though you dont have sysntax highlighting you can see the results on the go. and light on resources
i use Notepad++ for developing, but i'm not sure if they have a portable version or not, guess u could check it out
If you're experienced coder then I'd say Notepad++, although it's basically text editor, not exactly php IDE.
I advise you to try Codelobster PHP Edition. It's free Portable PHP editor, which can be named valuable IDE. Basic features are: PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS code highlighting PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS autocomplete PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS context and dinamyc help PHP Debugger Code folding (collapsing) Pair highlighting, pair selection, tags and attributes selection commands Navigation by holding CTRL key for all links, includes and definitions Preview in all browsers FTP/SFTP support HTML/CSS code insector I was really impressed possibility Portable and last point - HTML/CSS code insector. It allows navigation on HTML code and CSS for visual selected element, and changes making not in objective model, like in Chrome or FireBug, but in source. http://www.codelobster.com ____________________________
NetBeans is pretty good. Although it is not strictly portable, I installed portable apps on my usb and then copied the program files into the portable apps folder and it worked like a charm. That method can be used for a number of programs that dont have portable versions.
I read all post and I think CodeLobster is more better for you because it offers a portable IDE for PHP along with a number of other common Web languages, such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It contains an autocomplete feature.
Only noobs or large programming teams use IDEs for PHP Use notepad++ or notepad if you're hardcore hah. I develop the GUI, backend and database of my products using nothing but notepad++. Syntax highlighting and collapsible class and functions are what I depend on.
