Well, today as I turned on my PHP Designer 2005 editor, it said that an update is available and I thought to check it out and found out that PHP Designer 2006 final beta is out, so I downloaded it and installed.

It seems to have a different interface and a bit faster and some more features, I don't really think that it is a superb editor, but I did not find anything better on windows and got used to it.

I need to try it !
Anybody can advice a good tutorial to start with php ?

Well, you can find a lot of good tutorials in the net, but i recomend you to start with the official php documentation, download here.

BTW, i'm haven't done much coding on it yet only a few test scripts and I got a little frustrated with the debuger, when i run a script the debugger shows the source code instead of the result, and the same thing happens every time i run a script in an external window, maybe it is because a misconfigured value. Does anybody have the same problem?

Do you know any sites that actually use this? It looks like a great program but I need to know what sites it has been used for.

Also, it looks fairly advanced. Can you just copy and paste a script into it, for instance, a news box, and it will work or do you have to actually edit the document?

What are you talking about? It is a PHP IDE, an Editor mainly for creating, reading, editing .php files with a lot of features.

What is the difference what kind of sites were created with this program? You can create a one page html site with it, but you need some kind of html knowledge to do that - it is an editor and it won't create anything for you if you're just going to click the mouse, it has some things you can do with a mouse click, but just for people with some knowledge to make it faster for them to write the code.

I took a quick look at the PHP Designer 2007 website and am not at all pleased. I am going to stick with the 2006 version I think. In 2007, there are many disadvantages unless you want to pay. Almost none of the tools are available. At least in 2006 there was no split. I guess PHP Designer got popular enough were the owner saw a way to make a profit, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I know I wont be going to upgrade to 2007 unless I hear from others that tell me there are some real advantages to it. Because from the looks of it, I don't see much. If anyone does get it, I hope to hear their comments about it. I'm curious to hear how they could make improvements on the free versions.

Well, I just noticed that PHP Designer 2007, the version 5 has been released, don't know for how long it is released, but you can get it on the phpdesigner website, I myself just downloaded it, but didn't use it yet, because it is time for me to get ready and go to the university, so I just wanted to put a notice on this. So anyone if is using PHP Designer, can write some comments? Reviews?

Dar, I just noticed that it isn't free anymore It requires you to register or else you can use the Personal package which does not have special features.. I remember I read about PHP Designer, that he liked it to be free, now maybe he saw a lot of perspectives to get some money from it :/ Oh Well.. I rather use the old free version PHP Designer 2006..
