Debugger

This is a list of features planned for PHPub. Some of these won't make it in the first release, but PHPub will be a continuously evolving tool. If you don't see a feature you can't live without (or just think it's a pretty keen idea), drop me a line in the forums.

Editor
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Context sensitive help
  • Function name completion for PHP functions (user functions also planned)
  • Parameter tooltips for PHP functions (user functions also planned)
  • Keyboard remapping
  • Helpful functionality like SpeedCopy
  • Code templates
  • Movable docking windows allows you to roll-your-own UI layout
  • Now lets you use a keyboard and the mouse simulaneously
Project management
  • Holds PHP source code, images, configuration files
  • FTP briefcase allows you to work on remote file locally
  • Optional smart FTP only uploads modified files
  • TODO lists
  • Makes you look busier so you can play more Unreal Tournament!
Debugger
  • Fully integrated into the PHP 4 Zend engine
  • Compile and runtime errors jump right to the offending code
  • Debug locally or remotely via TCP/IP sockets
  • Single step, even across includes
  • Set breakpoints
  • Supports watches with PHP code: (strpos($input, "@") ? "Has @" : "No @")
  • Local variables window
  • Automatic watches for variables on the current line
  • Application doesn't crash much!
Language abstraction
  • Can hide underlying PHP code behind user-friendly dialogs
  • Easier database access with drop-in dataset and query objects
  • FunctionThis lets you turn any code snippet into a function to be used elsewhere in your code
  • So easy a Visual Basic programmer could use it!
