Hello,
I don't know why people don't reply to questions related to compiling php on
windows. If we want that php should run on every (including windows) platform we must
help people who try to achieve that. We cannot depend on windows binary download
provided at php.net because many of the extensions like ldap and imap are missing in
that download(php 4.20). Every time a new windows download is available they decide to
include a new extension and remove some other. Even if they include each extension I
think developing on Linux is not as easy as on windows.
I haven't found a really good Editor for Linux which is as good as Editplus
(http://www.editplus.com). Editor like editplus enables to compile any language source
code with just a click of a button, enables context-sensitive help and syntax
highlighting for any available language.
In many of the available editors for Linux GUI is not very good or they are very
resource hungry like KWrite. Many are unresponsive. For example when using Kwrite if I
press page down key and doesn't release key because I want to go to a specific page
and when that page is found and I release page down key KWrite doesn't stop until it
completes all page down events. Same is the case of gvim.
Another problem in using editors like vim and emacs is that one has to learn their
keyboard shortcuts. Should we spend time in learning php or these editors navigation
keys? These are too very unresponsive,
If anyone knows of a good programmer's editor for Linux which isn't very resource
hungry and runs well in X please tell me.
