I'm looking for a PHP IDE for Gnome/KDE. Any suggestions? ...*other* than vim...
Thanks!

Quanta does a good job at syntax highlighting, and completing variables.
But I don't know programs who do more, anyone else?

Damn. I was soo tempted to say gVim. However, now I cannot. Quanta does seem like a good choice, if you're not into the whole vim-ing thing. :)

Try do an emerge -s gphpedit

You will need to enable the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS variable. It basically just does syntax highlighting at the moment.

Quanta's good.

Eclipse offers PHP-IDE in beta through it's plugin interface.

Eclipse is in portage, the php-ide plugin is not..
It is extremely easy to install

Can't remember a URL by heart but search google and you'll find it.
Think it's somewhere on sourceforge

hmm... IIRC, nedit has PHP-highlighting...
It's not an IDE... but who needs that for PHP?

If anything, I find it more necesary then most languages, given how much is decided at runtime so there isn't much compile time errors, making a debugger more necesary (I consider the difference between an editor and a IDE is whether it has an integrated debugger or not). Personally I've never had much luck getting one of the PHP debuggers to work. The fact that Quanta Plus, which is certainly intended to be a development environment for PHP, doesn't have an intergrated environment for PHP is an indication of this. I find it to be one of the most frustrating things of PHP development. Some of the pretty silly bugs I've made would be perfectly clear if I had a debugger.

I'm doing PHP development with Quanta having just came from Java development with Eclipse. I found the former frustrating having been spolied from the latter (its built in Java compiler, renaming variables, debugger etc). If you haven't use Eclipse before, you should know that is is nice. I haven't looked at the Eclipse PHP options very much, perhaps I should.

Then you should definitly take a look at the php-plugin for eclipse.

It has an integrated debugger, works best though if you also set up a local test enviroment. It comes with standard hooks for starting and stopping a local apache/mysql instance.

It does the usual things, syntax-highlighting and code-completion and offers tree-view of objects.

There's also a mysql specific database component but I can't tell you if it's any good since I mostly program PHP against a PostgreSQL database.

Speaking of debuggers, one does exist for php. Follow the link: http://dd.cron.ru/dbg/

wondering no one mentioned bluefish so far

bluefish is really good if you're working on web files (unfortunately I won't recommend it for c++ programming or such)
otherwise I use ediplus emulated under wine

I've been using Zend's IDE in Windows and freaking love it. They do make a version for linux, but I was really hopeing to stay open source. Which of these suggestions do you think would be closest to Zend?
....aahhhhh! Change!

sure, bluefish for php,jsp
eclipse for java
and anjuta for C/C++

thats my layout

I like Zend, it's not exactly free, but it's really great.

I've just started using php ide in eclipse under gentoo (I've always used that under Debian) and I can't run any php script from within the ide that uses mysql_connect, I get this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in /home/bettini/php/bibliography/html/db.php on line 23
could not connect to database

anyone experiencing the same problem?

thanks in advance

with eclipse, you could also try trustudio, which is a php and python IDE for the eclipse platform.
works great, with autocompletion, doxygen/javadoc comment support (tooltips & such), etc...
I double it with eclox to actually generate doxygen docs.

Looks interesting!
And it's free?
Because there's also a "Buy" menu...

Lloeki · Post by **Lloeki** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:39 pm

totally free, go to the download section

IIRC, the 'buy' is only there for enterprise solutions.

Done!
Download it and installed in my eclipse 3.2...
unfortunately it doesn't seem to work

I cannot create any php project, I'm always getting errors...

http://www.xored.com/trustudio/download/1.0.1

take a look closer. you have either choice:
- all-in-one bundle, with eclipse 3.1&trustudio (but no other, like JDT, etc...), for pure php/py dev
- plugin form, to install (untar) on eclipse 3.1

as you noticed. that's only for 3.1. sorry for your 3.2.
whatever, I installed 3.2 the other day, to try eclipse php project (which is currently not usable) and didn't see any new feature I'd miss in 3.1, and so I went back to 3.1, so you might as well downgrade.

FWIW, I don't emerge eclipse (sooo many deps), I install (untar) it manually to /opt/eclipse.

lorebett · Post by **lorebett** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 1:59 pm

I tried also with the bundle, but it's still unusable for me (it does not execute scripts that use mysql functions, i.e., most scripts I have to run

)

moreover, it does not seem to provide a debugger...

Lloeki · Post by **Lloeki** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:10 am

recently, I made ebuilds for installing binary eclipse.
why? because emerge eclipse-sdk pulls in numerous dependencies I don't want.
this allowed me to make two other ebuilds: one for trustudio and one for eclox.
this is even compatible with other in-portage eclipse plugins, modulo some slight DEPEND modification.

as for your trustudio problems, with either bundle or plugin version, they bundle a php interpreter (certainly a php build with default options, and e.g without mysql support. who knows). you might want to point trustudio another interpreter in the options.
and regarding a debugger, I don't even know if any php debugger exist (and I don't think so, since it's an interpreted language).

gedit will do it with syntax highlighting as well. depends how basic you want to keep it.

Of course there exist debuggers for php

for instance the one I'm using now: PHPIDE, http://www.zend.com/pdt. I'm using their debugger for php scripts, and also the php they ship has all the mysql functionalities I need.

I was experiencing some problems with this (see my previous posts above), but I solved them using this page http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html.

I posted more details on my blog: http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2007/02/ec ... entoo.html.

However, trustudio seems interesting, and hope it will evolve in the near future!

I guess code completion is another must for programming languages
