RE: [PHP] Zend IDE vs. PhpEd

2003-01-08 Thread Lumpkin, Buddy
I thought autocompletion would help you _avoid_ silly mistakes. For example, 
defining $varName then trying to use $varname when you really meant to use 
$varName.

In php I would say it's a tossup because if you reference a variable that doesn't 
exist it will contain a NULL or FALSE value but php will not warn you. But in 
something like C I would have to agree that autocompletion can lead to much more 
difficult problems to track down. Because in C, if you never assign the variable the 
compiler (depending on the compiler of course) will warn you. If you accidentially 
assign a subtilly different variable that can be hard to track down, and the compiler 
will only warn you if it's a different datatype.

these are the hardest ones to debug. Copying, pasting and replacing is
much safer, IMHO.

For that, I prefer EditPlus on win32 - simple autocompletion (I wrote
one for them - only functions), very fast, stable and pleasureful to
use.  Also, EditPlus is a generic editor so I can use it for PHP as well
as for Python, Java, C/C++, C#, SQL, PL/SQL etc... Though, it doesn't
handle projects well at all and is quite limited on PHP...

But, that's my own preference. Should I need an IDE I'd choose Zend
because it seems to me more affordable and better integrated with PHP.

 Can anyone who's familiar with both give an honest, open evaluation?  I'm
 in a rush project and need something quickly (have to purchase tomorrow),
 but I'm on the fence when it comes to these two products.
 
 Zend costs $100 less than Phped, so I'm leaning that way.  But if there's
 anything you know that could make my decision easier, please forward it
 on.  They seem pretty comparable, with the exception of PhpEd's db
 browser.
 

I personally recommend the Zend IDE, simply because:

1) Its (more) cross platform
2) A more complete autocompletion.  Uses javadoc style documentation to generate
function prototypes for which you can then use autocompletion.  It also resolves
classes and objects.
3) Richer debugger
4) Better integration with other Zend products, if you want to use the encoder, 
it plugs right into the Zend IDE.
5) I like working with it more, and that's what it all comes down too.  The Zend
IDE is what I'm more comfortable with (outside of vim and emacs, which I must admit
are my primary development tools).

Re: [PHP] zend ide debugger

PHPEd now supports debugger and still free :)

 1-month commercial license ($90).
 
 Download wasn't too bad. I haven't had a chance to check out the Zend
 LaunchPad. The installation (Apache Linux PHP 4.04pl1+patches) took me about
 30 minutes for client and server which included the wait on the license key.
 It took us another day to put up because there is no mention that the
 debugger doesn't work with the optimizer on. Zend customer service fixed
 that though.
 
 The IDE is pretty nice. Startup (Windows version through Samba) takes a
 long time and there are still some crashing issues. It's nowhere near as
 spry as PHPEd but we're talking about a integrated debugger. The interface
 is Swing-based as near as I can tell and my main gripe besides the speed is
 I can't use the scroll wheel. It still crashes a bunch (not sure if it's the
 debugger or what). I passed it off to an engineer so I can't comment
 further. (He's having trouble getting it to recognize the include files.
 Anyone have a tip?)
 
 BTW, the debugger has a browser mode, it sends off some codes in a the
 get string of the URL. I didn't test it.
 
 Some people like source level debuggers and I think it's a good tool
 especially considering all the headaches Nexidion Designer gave us a while

  The IDE is pretty nice. Startup (Windows version through

Have you reported these if the happen consistenly Im sure the Zend folk
would love to hear about them so that they can fix them..

  It's nowhere near as
  spry as PHPEd but we're talking about a integrated debugger.

We are talking about Java and C/C++ or whatever phped is written in, Java
will be slower but then you can use it on nearly any platform.

  I can't use the scroll wheel.

Java does not support this very well yet at all but maybe the Zend folks
will sort this for a future version the 1.4 JRE should support this...

  I passed it off to an engineer so I can't comment
  further. (He's having trouble getting it to recognize the include files.

Include files must be on the webserver in the same dir as dummy.php or your
include path, personally this is slightly annonying but maybe we will see
this fixed in a future version..

The Zend IDE is written in Java, period;  You may consider this a mistake 
if you're not fond of Java, but this has nothing to do with Microsoft 
dumping Java (and switching to a Java clone called C#) for marketing and 
courtroom reasons.

The same binaries are used for the Windows version and the Linux version, 
and it actually delivers Java's promise of platform independence.

RE: [PHP] Zend IDE

Hi again,


I just checked the Sun "bugParade", and this is a known bug (for over three
releases now). Swing components don't get the correct keyboard layout; they
assume that the keyboard layout matches the locale setting, which is,
obviously, utter nonsense.

I guess this means that the Zend IDE is not useable by anyone who uses a
keyboard layout that is a bit "special", e.g.:

* Luxembourg: most of them use french locale, but swiss-french or german
keyboard layout
* Belgium: some use french locale, some use dutch locale, some with french
layout, some with american layout, even some with UK layout.
* etc.

"Java - write once, run anywhere". Shouldn't this rather be: "Java - be sure
to use an US keyboard!" ? ;)

I just want the debugger. Thats it. I hope they make some kind of allowance

Obviously Zend can do whatever they want with their own products. I just

maximize sales.

Also, Does anyone know if the IDE works on the snapshots? I didn't see

You need to buy a whole year's subscription though. This means you don't
pay $70 a month but 12*$70=$840 a year, in monthly installments. There
is a difference between 'amount X a month' and 'amount Y a year in

Re: [PHP] zend ide debugger

2001-01-23 Thread Alex Black

 The IDE+Debugger combo really looks great, esp. because of the debug
 support being AWOL in PHP4.

I'm a little bit irked about that actually, they obviously stopped the
"free" development on it, and moved it in house. But I guess you gotta put
food on the table :)

I really would prefer to have debug info printed to a browser instead of
_only_ accessible through their IDE. anyway.

 I'm a little worried about the IDE being written in java tho...I hope its
 not as slow/memory hungry/crash happy as the other java + JRE apps I've
 used...

That's getting a bit better, I've got a couple apps that run fine on win2k
that are java. they're memory pigs but that's the multiplatform life. also,
you're sort of screwed if you want to go X + windows, without maintaining
two separate codebases, so I understand the choice.

plus, swing is very mac-esque, so I approve :)

 Too bad there's not an evaluation version available for download.

I've sent mail to one of their sales guys, adam, about that. The 30-day
"evaluation" is pretty funny: you have to pay $100 for it. (come _on_)!

_but_, for me the "encoder se" is worth the $800 right out, I can ensure
some values stored in my apps right now are ripped up in a binary, which is
extra-extra-groovy for security.

 groovy..
