PHP development in VS
-
After a year and a half of not having to work in PHP/MySQL, I am now being forced to revisit an old POC (proof of concept or piece of crap, take your pick) project that a customer has now decided they want to use, naturally with quite a few changes!..and they need it operating in less than two months! Previous PHP editing was done with Active State Komodo, which works OK, but has some quirks, and lacks a debugger. (at least for the free version) I thought this time I would try the PHP Tools for VS and after finally getting debugging working seem to be off to a good start. Now I just need to remember all the weirdness that goes along with PHP. :sigh:

There's a plug-in for PHP that's something like $90 that I bought which made working with PHP significantly less painful. Debugger support, etc. PHP Tools For Visual Studio Extension[^] Marc
Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Contributors Wanted for Higher Order Programming Project!

Thanks Marc! That's the one I installed without realizing it was a trial version. :doh: That's OK though, if it improves my chances of getting this project done on time, it will be worth the $90. So far it seems to work great!

I use VS.PHP[^] ...does everything from the comforts of my Visual Studio. I've done things like import Joomla and WordPress into it and debugged them. It will work with its own internal webserver the way Visual Studio does or you can set up PHP on IIS and use that. Has all the usual syntax highlighting, Intellisense, etc.

I'll try this one when the trial for the other runs out, then choose which one I like. Pricewise, this one has a slight edge...and free upgrades for life! I've just noticed that the updates for each version of VS are free, not so for the upgrades to newer versions of VS. :) Thanks!

The PHP support in Netbeans is pretty good. In fact I switched from PHPSTORM 8 (which I thought was pretty impressive, and which I paid for) to Netbeans, because the debugging support for my project (HTML5/CSS/JS & PHP/MySQL) turned out to be better and easier to configure and use.
