FYI- New to this list but have been a php coder for 2 years.

I know a lot of you out there are going to groan inwardly, but I use
Dreamweaver, mainly because that's what I used since it's inception when I
was writing static sites. I use OSX for my writing platform and 
occasionally
use BBedit as well. If someone could point out a better PHP editor for the
Mac, please speak up:) BTW- Dreamweaver has pretty decent PHP highlighting.

I started out as a pure designer but got into the web and have since been a
moderate code writer, so cut me some slack if my methods are not standard;)
Whether or not it is proper form, I use the following format:

if($conditional)
{
some code;
}
else
{
if($subconditional)
{
subsome code;
}
else
{
subsome alternate code;
}
}

I think that is the one thing that really gets me, and therefore is the 
reason that I stay away from Dreamweaver (my wife uses it, so its in the

something isnt working, and its always something odd or many things odd in 
the HTML or php.  But again thats just me.

Thanks:) I'll give BBedit a go for a week and let you know how it turns 
out.
Yes, Dreamweaver does sucketh much, but it's great for hashing out the page
(WYSIWYG style) then tweeking the code. I Hate (capital H) hand typing
nested tables.*  :P

*high school memoryHwat the hell do I need typing for, I'm going to be an
illustrator!/high school memory
 THE best text/code editor in this planet is BBEdit. No questions about
 it.  It is a pitty it only runs on Macs.  I have used it to write text,
 code fortran, pascal, c, c++, html, css and php (among others). It is
 great, I love it.  Kudos to Bare Bones!  Great find/replace utility.
 Incredible adaptation to your needs.  Owesome syntax coloring.  Terminal
 included.  FTP, mail, telnet, terminal, macro, perl included.  Try it, 
now!

 you can create so-called assistants...
 
 You can create a loop that asks in a table how many rows and 
 columns do you
 want in that table.
 
 Then you can have it create the table with all your favorite 
 default table
 settings, but while it is generating it, you could have it 
 prompt you for
 any additional settings that you would like to have in the new table.

That doesn't explain what internal scripting is.

Do you mean that edit sessions are scriptable, using its own script
interpreter?

Or do you mean something else entirely?

Something else entirely.

I guess you could call them helper scripts libraries.

Example would be: You can program a script to create a switch statement and
then have it prompt you for the number of case statements to add in and if
you want them to break; or not.

Things like that.  Short cuts if you will..

Well, if those scripts are taking input and telling the editor what to do,
they're exactly what I said: a scripting language within the editor.

Accelerators are very efficient, and I'm pretty sure they don't store

Hi,

 Good coder will understand this at a glimpse:

[snip horrible code]

 if($pos_params!=false)

Assuming it's a boolean, $pos_params is *already* true or false, so testing
it like this is pretty much pointless. It makes more sense (and is much more
readable IMHO) to do something like this:

if ($pos_params) {
  // something
}

I'm not sure how the PHP interpreter works internally but that might even
save your script the overhead of an unnecessary comparison ;-)

Cheers

This is a real world example of how real programmer in a rush can

 Hi,
 
  Good coder will understand this at a glimpse:

um... you rewrote that, his code was:

 if( $pos_params != false )

 
 Assuming it's a boolean, $pos_params is *already* true or false, so testing
 it like this is pretty much pointless. It makes more sense (and is much more
 readable IMHO) to do something like this:
 
 if ($pos_params) {
   // something
 }

Also, i'd like to add, that even though these code examples will
work it maybe a little missleading. Assuming where this $pos_params
came from is strpos(), $pos_params can be false or 0.  The
condition that is being tested doesn't really let the code reader
know that.

In fact, there is a bug with both versions, if the $pos_params is
the first character (value of 0) then we the back_url_params is
going to get lost.

So in theory the condition *should* be

if ( $pos_params !== false) 


Ok, I've evaluated all this code way too much now :)

From the futher reading of the code we are able to deduct it can be 
also an integer:

$back_url_params =
substr( $HTTP_GET_VARS['origin'], $pos_params + 1 );
but then testing it this way:

if($pos_params!==false)

would be more appropriate in this case.

FYI- New to this list but have been a php coder for 2 years.

I know a lot of you out there are going to groan inwardly, but I use
Dreamweaver, mainly because that's what I used since it's inception when I
was writing static sites. I use OSX for my writing platform and occasionally
use BBedit as well. If someone could point out a better PHP editor for the

I started out as a pure designer but got into the web and have since been a
moderate code writer, so cut me some slack if my methods are not standard;)

Whether or not it is proper form, I use the following format:

if($conditional)

The new Dreamweaver is much better than the previous version.

I still have not found 'the ideal' editor for me and I use several 
tools. The one tool that looks like it could become my tool of choice

By far, I have been totally satisfied with UltraEdit.  Lightweight, just 
about any language you want to edit, user configurable syntax 
highlighting (for those into that), handles UNIX / DOS / Mac files 
easily, etc, etc.  And best of all, buy a liscense (cheap) and you're

you can create so-called assistants...

You can create a loop that asks in a table how many rows and columns do you
want in that table.

Then you can have it create the table with all your favorite default table
settings, but while it is generating it, you could have it prompt you for
any additional settings that you would like to have in the new table.

2003-09-23 Thread Jim Lucas
Who did I say was incompetent?  I don't think I said that.
Maybe you took it that way, but that I did not say.

I never said that I was better at writing code then anybody else, as a
matter a fact I get stumped on many things.  I love this list because
without having to ask any questions, all my questions get answered.

Anyways, I feel that not having syntax highlighting forces you to pay
attention to writing your code correctly the first time.

If you are more aware of what you are writing then you know how it should be
writen, and what it will take to write it correctly.

Proper planning will help in this, but it is practice that make you perfect,
not something to point it out to you.

I have always liked doing things the hard way.  I feel that I learn more and
retain more that way.  So in the future if I am working on-site and have to
modify something, then I will better understand what is going on, rather
then having to rely on some program to point it out to me.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste!

My apologies to anybody that I might have offended.

Another vote for Zend.  I tend to use vi, but I'm loving the CVS integration 
and code completion capabilities of Zend.  Now to get my manager to buy me 
the full copy :)  Now, if only I could find out how to tell it that it 
doesn't need DB.php in the project, but to reference it as an external 
library!  (Where DB.php is the PEAR code.)

I'm a big fan of ActiveState Komodo, largely because it handles PHP, Perl, Python, and 
others.  While most of my work is done in PHP, it's nice not having to switch editors 
when trying to port code to or from another language.  

I must agree with Ryan that there is no 1 app to use.  Dreamweaver MX is a staple in 
anyone's software library, especially for visual development, and Zend Studio is 
another great app.  However, what I like about either, you may not so you'll really 
just have to try out the numerous demos and find what works for you.

Eclipse offers tons of additional plugins and if you like java you can

There are many great db plugins that i use too.

Nh, a slightly larger company named Microsoft Inc. created an editor
called wordpad that doesn't bugger the document with \r, or is it, it
can read the document properly when \r doesn't exist? *shrug* I use joe
-- joe, yeah that's right, one more time JOE :) It's got really cool
features, like no auto completion, no colour, no graphics. best of all
it runs in a terminal such as Eterm or aterm which can be semi
transparent so I can see my cool background showing through. What more
could you ask for?

You must either be insane, a genius, or joking.  I couldn't imagine
writing code without context sensitive highlighting -- there are so many
bugs that would be overlooked.  And not being able to use M-g to goto a
line number?  (I use Emacs)  I'd go bonkers.

Look at GNU Emacs.  It's got a large learning curve, but once you learn
it it's worth it.  E-mail me if you want how-to instructions on setting
it up.
