Web development needs many criteria like requirement analyses, requirement definition, project planning, technology and manpower assessment, system analyses and design and many more. A fully functional and attractive website needs both creative work and expertise technology and in India there are huge manpower who are ready to striving to get best output. Web Development Company

Nice Post. PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Textual User Interfaces can also be created using PHP. Taufik

I agree with Robin regarding the difference between debugging with the two versions.

I agree with Robin regarding the difference between debugging with the two versions. I’ve tried to get used to 6.1 as the support for ZF is great. But debugging is such a pain that I just refuse to use it. In 5.5 it’s so simple and straightforward….. why did they have to take away the simplicity of the debugger…

Every time I use Visual Studio, I find myself thinking… well… nothing. That’s what’s great about it… I never have to think, ever. That’s the only reason (IMO) why .NET is able to succeed. Could you imagine trying to work with .NET *WITHOUT* an IDE as good as Visual Studio? Yikes!

Microsoft could learn a thing or two about documentation from PHP though. No other language comes close to such an easy to use and easy to understand reference.

Now if only we could combine PHP’s docs with Visual Studio. Utopia

i recently upgraded from zs 5.5 to 6.x, and i think it’s a step backwards. here’s why: 1) 5.5 is leaner and nicer to the cpu / ram. 2) some essential functions like the undo / redo is no longer in the standard toolbar but in the menus instead. 3) because 6.x is built on top of eclipse (which is a general purpose ide) and no longer standalone, there are a lot of features that a php developer would never use. just adds to the clutter. 4) buggy as hell. i have the latest 6.x version and the undo / redo is buggy. would randomly skip multiple steps for the undo, but maintain a step by step redo. its to a point that i consider it unreliable and use it as little as possible. 5) the code analyzer is too aggresive but doesn’t really work. its one thing if it works as intended – that’s fine. but when i get a warning like “global variable is used before its been defined” when infact it is defined in an include file at the beginning of the file, makes me less likely to trust all the warnings i see. blah.

i don’t know. maybe it’s because i’m just too used to 5.5. i think 6.x is a step backwards, but maybe by 6.5 it’ll catch up. one new feature that i like is that the tabs are now movable. yay… not really.
