need some help

Post by Dakkon »

Hello,

I am relatively new to using PHP and I have a couple of questions that I have been not been able to find answers too. First is there a visual editor for PHP? You know like MS’s Visual Studio (I like color what can I say)? Second I know that recently PHP has added the command line features… and I was wondering if there was a way to connect a PHP script to a C++ program? I am developing a program that is going to require access to a mySQL database and I am going to have to have a C++ program and web access to the database. So I was hoping that I could kill 2 birds with one stone and just write one PHP class so I would not have up on the code. Does anyone have answers for me?

There is no GUI editor (like MSVS) that I no of as PHP is a command line langauge and not an object orientientated langauge (by OOP I mean programming with visible objects like buttons and list, etc.) Zend Studio is an excellent PHP editor but does cost a bit. There is a demo though.

I am not sure about the command line functions (assuming you mean DOS), but you'd have to make two different classes... one for C++ and one for PHP.

visual editor for PHP
Do you mean RAD? if so, I don't know a GUI. But you may try phpEdit assuming that you're working on win32 (MS DevStudio). It took me a while to get it work properly but now it's quite nice.

I use PHPCoder, it is completely free, has good syntax highlighting and a handy feature that if you pause while typing a function it tells you what is needed - but I can only get that working for functions I have created myself.

I've been using Editplus for a while now and it does a fairly good job with syntax highlighting and an autocomplete thingy that you can edit yourself. It can be used for HTML and perl stuff as well.

Thank you all for the informatoin on PHP editors I will take a look into them.

But I am still trying to find out if you can interface C++ with PHP. And when I asked the question I don't think I made myself clear on what I want to do. I want to write a C++ program that will call PHP scripts to get and manuipulate information in a PHP script. So the question is does anyone know if you can call a PHP script inside of a C++ program?
