PHP-SciTE
Published on October 5th, 2008 by Hypn. Filed under PHP | 1 CommentAs a PHP developer I’ve tried many different IDEs but have always ended going back to SciTE. I started using a version with modifications by Bruce Dodson, but got frustrated with it not listing PHP files in the default “File Open” window, and not recognizing PHP5 files as PHP files, so I got to tinkering.
I changed the font and colours (for PHP files anyway), removed the other languages, enabled the auto-complete dropdown, changed the menus, included the PHP binary to check files for syntax errors, and included phpStylist to beautify source code. I also made a new icon, and added the latest “php.api”, and made F1 (help) open the PHP manual (included).
