PHP Development Environment / News: Recent posts

A new screenshot has been added showing the current progress of PHPDE, which is fast approaching 0.8.0. It will be released very soon!

Since version 0.7.7, which was written several years ago in Delphi, there have been thousands of downloads of the software. Perhaps there is significant demand for a good, integrated PHP development environment. The problem is, the latest software is still in Alpha, meaning that it isn't stable by any definition of the word.

Considering its popularity then, I am considering rewriting the software from scratch in the .NET framework. I will use the existing images, and the built in classes (instead of writing things like an xml parser!) and any other resources that took a considerable amount of time to create. Alongside PowerSong, these two projects will be my main focus for the forseeable future. If you are interested in helping out, drop me a line at nick@nick-hill.com.

After several months, a new version of PHP Development Environment has been released. There are many changes, visible in the change log. Download it today and have a look! Feel free to email the project administrators with any comments you have, we take them all into account!

Development continues on the PHP Development Environment. All submitted bugs are being looked at over the next week or so, and we hope to have a reasonably functional version released upon 0.8. The current version is 0.7.2 and releases will continue to be made against the 0.7 line until it is deemed a project in PHP can be fully made and edited with the environment.

Today, we uploaded the first file for PHPDE to this website. You can download the 0.7 ALPHA (also known as 0.7 PREBETA at the moment) from this website immedietly if you wish. We're working on 0.7.1 right now and hope to fix numerous issues and package it before the end of the week - with some exciting enhancements.
