You're welcome. But I fear you're not wise enough yourself to really learn from my teachings. ;P Jeremy Falcon

It's not so much the language, but mostly VS that I'm missing. I'm a heavy user of: - Autocompletion, ctrl-space bar, and the lesser known but very nice ctrl-shift-space bar. - Go to definition. - Extract method, Rename method. - Find all references. - And I definitely like getting the most out of stuff like generics and reflection, just for fun :) Hmmm, just made me think that there must be some idiots that tried making php into a .NET language :-D And indeed! There has been some effort, which seems not so much active anymore though: http://www.php-compiler.net/[^] Wout
What about VS.PHP? http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php[^] They add PHP support to Visual Studio 2002, 2003, and 2005. I haven't used it but I sure would if I wasn't a pennyless grad student. Bart: Look at me, I'm a grad student. I'm 30 years old and I made $600 last year. Marge: Bart, don't make fun of grad students. They've just made a terrible life choice.

.NET is like a blackhole - once you get sucked in there's no way out. It's that great! PHP is old and not made by MS. Of course it's not as cool. :cool: JOSH

The same could be said about C++. :laugh:

I just quit a job for this exact reason - I was told there would be *some* php, but it ended up being all php. It was making me crazy! It's so good to find myself back with my old friend, .NET, again :cool:
A mum and loving it!
I guess I'm the only one who loves PHP. (Although, not as much as C++ :) ) There are PHP editors out there which include things like auto-completion and color syntax highlighting. Both commerical[^] and free[^]. There is also a add-in[^] available for Visual Studio 2005, which costs money - and Eclipse[^] just released a (free) PHP plug-in for their platform as well.

I'm working on some PHP site, but I'm really missing type safety, a compiler catching my errors, auto completion, refactory tools. Would something like Zend studio sooth the pain a bit? Or should I just tell the guy I'm doing the work for (mostly as a favor, I'm not really getting rich from this) that I can't take it anymore and can only do .NET? :~ Php is not too bad, but it's taking me quite some energy to switch from .NET to php and getting familiar with it, so maybe I should just stick with .NET.
