IDE

Post by scromer »

Is there an IDE for php that runs the code? I am new to php coming from C# and I use Visual Studio which has iis built in, FastCGI isn't working on my dev machine and won't run on our test server. I just need to make some small graphical changes to an existing php site and I cannot get it to run. We are a microsoft shop so I cannot install Apache.

Thanks,
Sam

It seems to me I used Eclipse pdt on a windows/iis machine once and was able to do remote debugging and code execution on the windows IIS server. But it was a long time ago and I don't recall details, sorry. Or you could always set up a linux testbed server for your code work then export back to the IIS environment.

I think Eclipse has a built-in server to run code.

Eclipse PDT or NetBeans are the major ones. There are others.

Also, if you're happy to pay for a commercial offering, NuSphere PhpEd comes complete with its own micro-server to execute the code from the IDE without any need to install XAMPP/EasyPHP etc - it can even run a browser window within the IDE if you prefer.
