PHP Freaks
[Lockergnome:] "This Web site exists to provide you with information to use while learning or developing PHP and MySQL. If you need PHP Help or you would like to provide PHP Help to other developers, you are in the right place. Additionally, we offer Apache Help, MySQL Help, Javascript Help, CSS Help, XML Help and much more."




I found Dev-PHP in one of my Lockergnome newsletters and I thought I'd share. At just 754kb it's tiny but it's really rather nice. There's no whistles and bells and, as yet no libraries to insert, but what it will do is run your code in a window to see if it works - and it's GNU public domain too. Nicely done that man!


(Edited) From Lockergnome:
Dev-PHP is a full-featured, integrated development environment that uses PHP scripting language and the PHP-GTK library to create scripts and applications. If you want to develop Web sites using PHP, this is one way to do it. If you already have PHP scripting language installed, then just download Dev-PHP IDE. To get started with PHP, go to the official site at php.net. It has all the basic editor options including "Open files" tabs, drag and drop functionality, syntax highlighting, customization, templates, Web page icons, code optimization, and syntax checking.

Having peaked my interest, I have gone of on another tangent from this mornings work to go search SourceForge.net for other tasty looking PHP apps, like the following ones. I'll add my own comments when I've played with them all...

FoxServ

FoxServ is an Apache / mySQL / PHP installer package for Windows and Linux. Unlike NuShpere or PHPTriad, FoxServ features the latest version of all included packages, user defined configuration during installation, PHP as a module, PEAR, and the Zend Opt

BUT, beta or no, it never installed properly and despite being installed for at the most 5 minutes appears to have ripped a hole in my firewall - thank you very much. NOT
Whether or no this package is to blame, I've put it as over 95% sure to be the cause of some no-mark using my details for a wholly unsavourity spam mailshot. Hanging is too good for these people, but I'll accept it as a first option.

My opinion? Don't touch this product with a bargepole!
