PHP development?

Hi,

I was wondering one thing, could it be possible that Code::Blocks could make itself usefull for web applications? I know, its totally different to C and OpenGL stuff, but its widely used (HTML and PHP).

Why? I hate other software like Dreamweaver or other applications that are used to create websites, while CodeBlocks looks clean and efficient. IMO CodeBlocks is much easier to use and to code for (ie: I really like the feature that useless spaces/tabs at the end of a row are deleted, and that CB is free and open source :D).

I think the issue about providing a new language is the syntax coloring and error checks, right? (Not sure, as I haven't made IDE's or look-a-likes :P), I have all php functions in a MySQL db...

Anyway, tell me your thoughts :). And yes, I know most of you guys are probably no web application specialist, but consider it...could be really cool and usefull :D.

There are better tools out there for PHP development that provides you more than syntax coloring & errors.

If you are a fan of eclipse, you can try out PDT from Zend (which is free ofc):
http://www.zend.com/pdt

There is also a debugger, but you need to download it separately (the debugger can be found on the same link I provided above).

Im using windows or linux...never heard of eclipse. I know there are some other applications doing it, but have a all in one package would just be awesome :).

eclipse is currently, IMHO, the best free open source IDE around written in Java, so it makes it cross platform as well.
Basically it was designed for Java, but it evolved to work with C++ (the CDT plugin) and it has, like C::B, a plugin architecture and you can find on the web hundreds of plugins for eclipse including:

- Java (the default)
- C++
- Aajax
- PHP
- XML
- JSP
- UML tool
- Reporting framework (BIRT, Jaspper)
and much much more ...

If you are working on Linux then you probably has it installed, most of the major distributions of Linux includes eclipse.

BTW, the link to PDT I posted earlier, includes (beside of the PDT) also WST - which is a collection of web developments plugins for eclipse and eclipse itself.

If you're looking for something compact and clean like C::B, I would suggest either Programmer's Notepad (open source) or PSPad (freeware, not open source). Both support a wide range of languages, and are lightweight (under 4MB each for the installers / memory actually taken by the program). If you're looking into having an 'executable' development environment, you ought to install a light test server, something like XAMPP with several other applications bundled together.
