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.
