Developer News: A new PHP IDE in town... (updated)

Posted by: BoobtoobOn 2002/12/18 14:56:51 14709 reads

I normally don't compose articles like this but, I think this is a significant leap for PHP IDE's especially since it's free and backed by many major corporations.

Ok, after some digging I found a killer little all-platform editor called JEdit (http://www.jedit.org) and it's awesome. Once you install this puppy, you can download dozens of plugins!

What I'm talking about is the Eclipse IDE. Until recently, it was meant to be an opensource IDE for Java developers built by IBM. Now it's becoming an IDE dejour supporting any language you can build a plugin for and guess what? Eclipse now has a PHP plugin and it looks promising especially since I develop on a MAC.

Here's a couple of URL's to get you started:
Eclipse home page
Xored PHP plugin

Checkem out and have fun.

I read about eclipse but still in the clouds of what this thing does? An open source development environment a plug-in for PHP? How does that look? Didn't see any samples. If I wanted to use and IDE for PHP why not just use DMX?

If you goto the second link, you can see screen shots. As far as DMX, does it work on Mac?

Thanks for the links...very much appreciated. It looks very professional and doesn't look like you got it for free. Very industrial feel to it.

so, where is DMX (url). yes, eclipse is supposed to be the next big IDE thing for development as a foundation for competing with Microsoft's tools. All I can say is good luck on that one!

P.S. you a mac user?

Ok... DMX = Dreamweaver.. Hmmm. I can't really take this as a serious code development tool. Maybe I'm missing something.

Awww, to heck with all these fluffy gotta-have-it-easy IDE's for developement. Give me UltraEdit anyday!! Be a man, throw out all those fancy frilly things.

OK, so maybe there will be some day when I want to get some actual *work* done.... I just hate what Visual Studio does to my HTML code.

Note: If you go to the Eclipse site, there is a link for a Overview whitepaper that has some screen shots and explains the arcitecture of the tool a bit better. It looks very promising, thanks for posting the link!

Unless one's a Delphi/ Kylix Guy- one gets very spoiled and finds it impossibly frustrating to work with a text editor

I shall definitely look at this as I pursue my quest for the elusively perfect PHP IDE

Merry Whatsit!

The reason I looked it up was becuase I develop on a MAC and the only decent PHP editor is BBEdit (no fluffy gstarret hehehe). Anyway, I stay on the lookout for decent Mac IDE's and this one shows promise. The only other one is Quanta Gold by the Kompany but it uses the QT tools which aren't very up-to-date with OSX.

As of right now, I prefer notepad...I never really got into using IDEs. I use a few different languages...html, tcl, sh, php, and my brain isn't functioning on the weekends so I can't think of the other languages I use. I'll check these out (jedit and eclipse) and see if I like either of them. About to start a big TCL project...maybe if there's a TCL module for either of them, I'll make this my first ever project with an IDE, heh.

Hi all,

funny to see how my favorite J2EE java ide starts infiltrating the PHP world.
As for how good eclipse is to develop php, i dunno. I just DL'ed it and start using it.
As for how good it is as a JAVA/J2EE IDE. It's the best!! It will be the main competitor for MS VIsual Studio and due to the high amount of plugins available (228 and still ticking at
http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/index.jsp)
it is very flexible.

You'll definitely hear about it more often. Even in the PHP world.
BTW there is another plugin called phpeclipse
http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/
that's also worth noting!

ciao

I have been a faithful user of Zend Studio for a few years now. I started a new job and everyone at the company strongly stands behind Eclipse for PHP development. I have been testing it out and it has some great features compared to Zend Studio, such as the Source Control support. They make it really easy to checkout a branch, or the head. With Zend i have not been able to checkout a certain branch, i am not saying you can't there has to be a way but they do not make it very easy. I also like how you can get a bunch of plugins for things like regular expression testers etc. The only thing i found difficult with Eclipse is the source control when you wish to commit or update, you would think it would be under a sub-menu called CVS or Source control rather you will find it under the Team -> Commit.

I have also been testing ActiveState's Komodo and this has a really nice UI, the source control is simple. It has a built in regular expression tester. Very nice IDE, however the one drawback is that it slows down almost to a halt when you load a very large legacy php file. The one i have tried to load 3 times is very large and it slows down everytime. I have a hard time scrolling the document (that's how slow it is) so this IDE is out of the question for me.

It would be nice if an IDE was created from the 3 IDE's listed above to encompass the good features from all of them.
