Re: Development Tools

Hello, If you find the Dreamweaver MX PHP support too immature, you can always switch to PHAkt, a GPL extension to Macromedia Ultradev that improv es the PHP support a lot. The current version 2.0 (PHAkt 1.0 did the same thing for Ultradev 4 but it seems that many PHP developer don't want to be productive and stick t o code editors like vi or notepad) adds a lot of features like: - Support for multiple databases in a transparent way (ADOdb) - Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MsSQL date locales - User authentication Server Behaviors - Master/Detail Server Behaviors - Go to detail Page Server behaviors - Improved code generation (all reusable code is kept in functions.inc.php) - Multiple and extensible recordset support. - IIS and Apache 2 support by using absolute redirects. PHAkt can be downloaded at http://www.interakt.ro/products/PHAkt/ Alexandru Mark McCulligh wrote: > I am looking for a good Development tool to write my PHP in and was > wondering what people are using out there. > > I have been looking at Dreamweaver MX, Zend Studio 2.5 and phpEdit. > I know UltraDev 4 well with ASP, but the new MX now supports PHP.
