PHP Visual Editor

PROGRAMMING

Is there such a thing as a PHP visual editor that lets you run php code on your computer and debug it?

I just use vi on my server but my daughter is spoiled and says she wants "something like Visual Studio" :-)

Ideally should work on both Mac and PC but I'll take only PC if necessary.

Hi Sara,

Check out phpDesigner - it's pretty decent, though I think any tool is going to struggle when it comes to HTML + PHP + JS debugging

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Sara.

You can try NetBeans (https://netbeans.org)
There are Windows and Mac OS versions.

I agree, NetBeans is really good. I use it myself. You can also try notepad++.

Also, you may want to set up a WAMP server on your computer to run the code.

  This isn't exactly what you're requesting, but it addresses the spirit:
  
  Windows actually has an FTP feature built right into Windows Explorer (nee File Manager). It's mildly tricky to configure, but here's the thing.... Once you get past that one-time step, it becomes stunningly simple to publish code: just drag the file from your local folder to the server folder.
  
  My point is that, because it's so "lightweight" (mentally), I've stopped worrying about having to do any local debugging; I just use the server directly.
  
  Yes, yes, it's a simple shortcut, but for me, it made the transition from local to server trivial. Hope that helps!
  
  Thanks

I used Notepad++ which is really nice. For php though it's going to be a bit tricky since it's a programming language.
