IDE that lets you see PHP includes and edit them (as if they were not includes)

Get Started

Hoping that something exists that can let a person view the includes files in a php script as if they were not included but copy-pasted in their respective locations in a script.

example:

main script:
<?php

echo "hey is my includes: ";
include_once myincludedfile.php;

?>

myincludedfile.php
<?php

echo “an included file”;

?>

So the ide would integrate them automatically to yield:

<?php

echo "hey is my includes: ";
echo “an included file”;

?>

Dreamweaver’s live view does this but the code is read only. Any non-read only alternatives?

Try this to view the included contents:



<?php
   $filename = 'myincludedfile.php';

   echo "hey is my includes: " .$filename;
   highlight_file( $filename );
   include_once $filename;

  # you could also try this
  # echo file_get_contents( $filename );

?>

I do not understand about editing an online file?

What I am hoping for is some software solution that would allow me to work on a php file with a lot of includes, which automatically “includes” the files into my code so I can work on it as if it were one giant PHP file. So as if I had just went to the included file and then copy pasted the file into the appropriate location in my script. So this isn’t a question about making includes work once they are processed by the server and given to the browser, but about how the includes are presented in my code editor.
