IDE in ubuntu
I am using ubuntu 8.01. Suggest me an IDE like dream weaver for PHP in this os !!!
Re: IDE in ubuntu
I would hope that there isn't one. All you need is a text editor with a little syntax highlighting, and perhaps an ftp client. Take a look at screem or jEdit.lipun4u wrote:I am using ubuntu 8.01. Suggest me an IDE like dream weaver for PHP in this os !!!

pdt eclipse. There is an all-in-one version available from zend including their debugger. Once you get the hang of eclipse it works quite well.

Re: IDE in ubuntu
I think of Dreamweaver as an application that allows non-programmers to create websites using Macromedia/Adobe technologies. It is a one-of-a-kind application. Are you a programmer? graphic artist?

Re: IDE in ubuntu
Actually dreamweaver has evolved much. Though it still has features for aligning HTML through a UI, it can also double as a half decent IDE (autocompleting multiple languages, file management, code highlighting etc).
I'd give Zend Studio or Eclipse a shot, both have linux versions.

Re: IDE in ubuntu
I have Ubuntu. I use the default GNOME desktop. I then load up gedit, but with a twist, and not too many people know about this. See, you can do this at command line:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
Then, restart gedit and go into Edit, Preferences, Plugins. I check off File Browser Pane (this is key!), Indent Lines, External Tools, and some may want Bracket Completion. On color scheme, I choose Oblivion because after looking at bright screens all day, it wears on my eyes and I like looking at code screens with black backgrounds. On Editor tab, I set Tab Width to 4 and uncheck Insert Spaces Instead of Tabs, and I check Automatic Indentation. On View tab, I check off Display Line Numbers, Highlight Current Line, Display Right Margin (and set to 100), and Highlight Matching Bracket. I then click Close.
Next, on Tools, External Tools -- I add a new item called "PHP Lint" and set the command to "php -l" on the current document. This lets me run a syntax check on each PHP page if I have also installed the PHP Command Line package (apt-get install php5-cli).
And to me, this is the most perfect IDE on Ubuntu for PHP that I have ever found. It's not too difficult to understand, not too slow, and not buggy at all. To date I have probably had about 2 crashes of the IDE in 4 years, and was only because I kept it open for like a couple weeks doing heavy work in it and didn't shut it down to remove memory leaks.
For help files, I just link them into my Firefox. I hate intellisense typing commands as I go.
For code sync with a source repository, I use RapidSVN, but you should use the very latest one from the website, not the one that comes with Ubuntu by default.
