Show your IDE/Editor

s_molinari · July 16, 2015, 5:21am

I was wondering what other PHP developers’ screens look like, when they work with their IDE (or editor). Make a screenshot and show everyone else what your code looks like in your IDE (or editor)! It’s like show and tell in grade school!

Here is my NetBeans IDE screen of some Symfony code.

And I am playing around with PHP Storm currently too. I am starting to like PHPStorm more and more. As I use it, I notice it is designed much more with a PHP developer in mind.

Just Sublime for me. I prefer nice and uncluttered interfaces. Buttons and menus just reduce the amount of visible code.

Edit: I should add I have the plugins for Git integration and PHPUnit and the PHP linter for detecting parse errors.

Awfully blue.

I prefer it to the usual rainbow effect of syntax highlighting. Blue = code, green = not code (strings, comments, etc)

To each his own I guess

The color schemes in my screens are also my own, started from the Monokai theme, but altered to my liking.

I’m not sure whether NP++ counts as an IDE, but it’s what I use

Unlike everyone else that’s posted, I prefer my OS’s file manager, so I don’t have file browser sidebar in my setup. Also, because I have the screen real estate, I prefer to have two file panes up:

Edit: Like @TomB, I have the plugins for git integration and the PHPLinter installed in SublimeText. The linter plugin, especially, is a must.

I’m going to have a look into PHPlint. Thanks for the tip @TomB too.

Not really, but still, thank you for the post. I’ve asked to have my OP changed too.

This is after an upgrade and I haven’t put the dark theme back in place yet (and whilst debugging)

cpradio · July 16, 2015, 3:20pm

Non-debug mode (still not using dark theme yet)

cpradio · July 16, 2015, 3:23pm

Dark Theme (non-debug mode)

s_molinari · July 16, 2015, 3:29pm

That isn’t PHP though!

cpradio · July 16, 2015, 3:32pm

I’ll add that later I do a lot of both and didn’t want the horrid side of .NET to be left out (though I do have PHP extensions installed in Visual Studio… I just don’t have recent code examples to open up)

cpradio · July 16, 2015, 3:37pm

Ah, forgot I had this one on my flash drive It is PHP code too! (bonus points) – and not in Visual Studio, but IntelliJ

cpradio · July 16, 2015, 3:42pm

Posting that, made me realize there is a bug in that code (well, bug is a lose term, it has a scenario that should have been handled differently).

Deals with PostContentAsNewTopic and PostContentAsNewPost (both have the same silly mistake).

@Jeff_Mott @swader @Michael_Morris @StarLion @fretburner @Dormilich (and any others out there! )

How about a peek into your PHP development tool too?

If you think about it, the editing tool we use to code with is the canvas and palette we have as PHP “artists”. PHP being the paint!

Netbeans is my choice. Free and powerful.

I can’t understand how can people code in NP++ and other text editors (not IDEs) without code completion and CTRL+click quickjumping to function definitions.

s_molinari · July 17, 2015, 10:47am

Actually, I think NP++ has code completion. But, yes. “plain” editors lack a lot of other useful functions like version control, debugging, CI and deployment functions.
