UEStudio integrated development environment tour: PHP support

The UEStudio tour is intended to guide you through some of the advanced IDE features of the application. UEStudio includes all of the features of UltraEdit, the world's best text editor, which are not covered here.

Did you know you can run your PHP scripts, check the script output, and check your PHP syntax all from within UEStudio? UEStudio supports several PHP functions directly from the script toolbar. When the HTML PHP commands button is pressed in the script toolbar a submenu with PHP commands is presented.

Note: The first time one of the commands is selected from the PHP submenu, a dialog is shown where the user must browse to locate the php.exe on the local system.

If you have not installed PHP on your system please go to www.php.net/downloads.php and download the latest version, following the installation instructions.

You may also want to look over the "Setting up a local PHP/MySQL dev environment" power tip as well for a tutorial to set this up.

If PHP has not been installed on your system the functions below will not operate and will only prompt for the location of the php.exe on your system.

If PHP has been installed on your system the following functions are supported:

Button	Function
	Run Script	runs active script
	Syntax Check	checks syntax of active script
	Syntax Check All	checks the syntax on all open PHP documents
	Parse Document	parses active file and presents HTML equivalent of scripted events in documentname-parsed.php file
	Stripped Comments	strips comments and whitespace from active file and reformats it and presents result in documentname-parsed.php file
	Highlighted Source	converts script to HTML text bracketed by <code> and <code> allowing script to be displayed in an HTML file highlighted as it appears in UEStudio
	Select PHP Executable	presents a dialog for user to browse to location of php.exe
