Editors and Dev Tools...


Recommended Posts

I've done some PHP work in the past, but nothing that's been really BEEFY. I've just been put in charge of a large, corporate site that was developed in PHP. It has a full store front and such. What I need is, someone to guide me in the right direction when it comes to dev tools or editors. I see there are several of them out there, some free, some not. I don't have a problem spending the money, but I want to know that I'm getting something I can use. I.e. auto complete and delimiter features and such.

 

Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there's any need to go spending money to be honest! Eclipse I've started using recently for a few smaller things and found it pretty good - though I don't think it would run perfect on a slower machine. Notepad++ is a popular one as well, but a bit feature lacking I find. There's literally tonnes out there, perhaps best just trying a few and going with the one you like the most.

 

I don't know what kind of setup they/you have, but if they have SSH access to the server I would definitely use bash for all or most of your activities (including uploading files to the server, modifying, moving, searching, changing permissions, committing to a repository, etc. etc. etc. etc.) - you can do everything that way all from within one terminal if you so wish (but it's easier to have several open). It's a steep learning curve but definitely worth it!
