IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or in other words PHP editor is an essential tool for developers in building mobile or web applications. In this article, we will discuss about PHP editors and share 5 best cross-platform PHP editors.
1.NetBeans
NetBeans includes an open source development environment and application platform. NetBeans IDE allows developers to use the Java platform to quickly create web, enterprise, desktop and mobile applications. NetBeans IDE already supports PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Groovy, Grails and C/C++ and other development languages. The NetBeans project is supported by an active development community, and the NetBeans development environment provides rich product documentation and training resources as well as a large number of third-party plug-ins.
NetBeans is an open source software development integrated environment. It is an open framework and extensible development platform that can be used for the development of Java, C/C++, PHP and other languages. It is a development platform itself and can extend functions through extension plug-ins.
2.Aptana
Aptana Studio is an integrated web application development environment that can not only run as a stand-alone program, but also can be used as an Eclipse plug-in. AptanaStudio can support a variety of AJAX and JavaScript toolboxes, including JavaScript editing and debugging.
Aptana Studio Features
①Smart code completion
Compared with other types of languages, JavaScript's intelligent code completion function is often weak, and always gives people the feeling of incomplete prompts. Aptana Studio provides smart code completion that covers not only JavaScript syntax, but also HTML and CSS.
②Browser compatibility tips
For browser front-end developers, whether the scripts they develop can run across browsers is undoubtedly the primary consideration. Aptana Studio understands this need well and tries its best to eliminate browser compatibility hazards during the development stage: after each property or method prompt in JavaScript, it will be followed by the browser type for which the property or method is applicable.
③Code error prompt
Aptana Studio's code error prompts are very accurate and can be described as "nothing is missing".
④Document structure tree
The reason why many developers prefer Firefox is that Firefox has built-in features that are beneficial to developers, such as Error Console and DOM Inspector. Aptana Studio also provides tools like DOM viewers to help analyze the hierarchical structure of page documents.
