I have been working in technology for so many years, but I have not developed the habit of recording and accumulating. Now I am happy to open source and share, but I hesitate to write, not knowing where to start. It has been a while since I started a blog, but I have never written a decent technical article. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought I should proceed step by step, starting with setting up and configuring the development and debugging environment.
There are many mainstream PHP integrated development environments, such as: Zend Studio, PhpStorm, Eclipse, NetBeans, Dreamweaver, etc., each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Zend Studio: Zend Technologies’ secondary development IDE based on the famous Eclipse is currently recognized as the most useful PHP development environment. It includes all components required for developing, editing, debugging, and configuring PHP programs. It integrates all the tools in the PHP development process. The code prompts and auto-completion functions are good. It is particularly convenient to debug the code. The support for the Zend Framework is very good. The only disadvantage is that does not have much support for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. good.
PhpStorm: It is an IDE developed by jetBrains. It has the same origin as the coding artifact IntelliJ IDEA. The function configuration is very simple, the code prompts and automatic completion are very powerful, and it also supports HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It is very powerful and easy to debug. It is simply a PHP development tool. The only drawback is the fee, but Tianchao... you know.
NetBeans: It is an open source IDE. As a rising star, the speed of code prompts and automatic completion is slightly slower, and the support for various frameworks is also average, but it is lightweight, free, and takes up little memory. , supports multiple development languages, and has good support for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
Dreamweaver: It is Adobe’s front-end development tool. It has very good support for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, and its code prompts and auto-completion are slightly faster. Slow, there are multiple development modes to choose from, which is very convenient. Overall, it is not an excellent PHP development environment, and there is no free open source version.
