School Stuff

Can anyone recommend a good PHP editor? Cuz I need one. Real bad.

*sigh*

I'm starting to really hate Tuesdays. Drive to Bentonville for a 7:45-9:00 am PHP class. Drive back to Fayetteville. Do homework & class prep. Drive back to Bentonville for an endless 6:15-9:00 pm C++ class. Drive back to Fayetteville. Stay up til midnight because I'm too tired to sleep.

Here. Have a little whine with your breakfast.

You can thank me later.

Most versions of vim will color code your code for you. I swear by it.

Ditto what Andy said.

The learning curve for Vim can be pretty steep, but once you get it down, it's the bees knees. (Or something like that.)

Umm, maybe editor was the wrong word. I need something to debug my PHP code because I don't have a server to put it on to check it.

Will Vim do that?

Vim won't do that, unfortunately, but I just checked and the-blinding-white-light.com server does support PHP, so you could just tack a directory off of there somewhere to test your code.

Failing that, NuSphere has a PHP IDE that has a 30-day free trial. I've never used it, so I couldn't comment on how it works.

Yeah, I'd thought about just making another directory, but I was hesitate to take a chance on breaking the whole internet. lol

The school's supposedly setting up a system for us to log into, but so far they haven't gotten it to work. (They run Novell, go figure.) Meanwhile, I've got homework piling up that I can't debug. I might give NuSphere a try. Thanks!
