Document Summary
Again, if you have a different preferred program editor, use that; it"s always a good idea to use programs you"re already familiar with. Figure 2-17 shows the popular phpdesigner ide with a php program loaded into the main frame, and the righthand code explorer listing the various classes, functions, and variables that it uses. When developing with an ide, you can set breakpoints and then run all (or portions) of your code, which will then stop at the breakpoints and provide you with informa tion about the program"s current state. As an aid to learning programming, the examples in this book can be entered into an ide and run there and then, without the need to call up your web browser. There are several ides available for different platforms, most of which are commercial, but there are some free ones too. Table 2-1 lists some of the most popular php ides, along with their download urls.
