DegreeZ Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hey, I normally code in ASP.NET. I use application developments like Visual Studio .NET and Web Matrix. I'm fairly new to coding in PHP. Any PHP programmers out there that can recommend a good php development app? Thanks, Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53889-php-application-environment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj-kenpo Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I like notpad2. notepad++ is also really good. then instal xammp on your pc, it installs an apache +mysql server on there and you can just work from localhost to develop your work offline don' t really know what else to say, framworks and dev programs in my oppinion just create bloated code that doesn't run as fast.

dj-kenpo Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 as for hardware, (not that you're asking this) a dual display setup is what I use, dunno what everyone else has, though I'd be interested in hearing. I have an n420c laptop hooked up with an additional 17" lcd. I figure this winter I'll get 2x 22" + a display splitter to trick the laptop into thinking the 2 lcds are one.

per1os Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Notepad++ is great, I used to use pspad but that just didn't feel right. Than I found the open source notepad++ and have not changed yet. That is my recommendation. I would never use dreamweaver for php, what a piece of junk program. If you want an IDE Zend makes a great ide, never used it but yea.

Caesar Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 you wouldnt catch me dead using other programs(dreamweaver, etc...) Good man. 8-) Dreamweaver sucks herpes infested scrotum. Also...UltraEdit. Basically, a very suped up notepad. Does not generate any code. You do all the work. It just has a ton of nice features for editing. You can open files via the file transfer protocol, and work on code real-time. Extremely nice. (One feature I like, it highlights the closing braces when you put your cursor next to one in a function/class.)
