Re: PHP IDE

For what it's worth to anyone developing an IDE for PHP... here is my "whishlist" FUNCTIONS THAT DON'T NEED MENTIONING - Syntax coloring (with user definable colors) - Autoindent REALLY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS - PHP Debugger... - Transparent FTP Support (open/save through ftp) - Regexp search and replace - User configurable tools (i.e. F10- open in browser, F9- open in dreamweaver, F5- update in CVS, etc...) - Context based help (i.e. F1 shows help on the selected word) NICE-TO-HAVE FUNCTIONS - Project view/pane/tree (a list of files and dirs related to a project) - Full CVS integration - Function lists (list of functions defined in a file or in multiple files) - Variable lists - Multifile search and replace - Hyperlinking (right click on a function call to jump to it's definition, right click on an include to open the file) - Autocomplete (start typing a word and a list of completions appears) - Smart indenting (i.e. add an indent level after typing a {, remove one after }) - Context based syntax coloring (i.e., when the cursor is inside <? ?> tags, show HTML in a single color, when outside of php tags, colorize HTML code but not PHP code... do the same with strings in php code... SQL syntax a plus) - Code folding (i.e. hide/show a { } block... even better if it supports HTML open/close tags) - Scripting (use the Zend engine :-) FUNCTIONS I DON'T WANT - WYSIWYG HTML Editing... unless it is as good as Dreamweaver and it interprets PHP code when showing the page. I already have/use most of these functions in Emacs (under Win and Unix) with a custom php-mode and UltraEdit (Win only) with custom settings.
