Php for Visual Studio (Php4VS)

Updated Wiki: Home

neonp — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:46:08 GMT

Project Description
The Php4VS is a Package for Visual studio which aims to do the same thing as some others do, but with one difference : for FREE !

Currently, there are not many things available, but, it will come. Then please, be patient. However, you may find basic colorization for php files, and basic project and file templates. Remember, the aim is not to do the same thing as Phallanger. It is only to help php developpers in having a true IDE to deal with their files.

I need some help with Intellisense implementation. If someone could help me, I would be very greatful.

The package only work with VS2008 for instance

Here is a true installer that works...

Here is a version with basic intellisense, syntax colorization for most of the keywords. Some built in functions are also colorized, but not all of them. Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask questions. I'll try to answer ASAP.

nope, to have it work with a normal VS2008, you need to run the regpkg tool, however, I think it is shipped with VS2008SDK :p. Don't worry, since I'm on holidays for two weeks, I hope I'll be able to release a true working installer...

I don't know what exactly do you mean witg VS2008 Experimental. Yes, send me that reg file please, I'll modify it so it'll contain my paths.
Mail it at cime3d [at] gmail.com .
Thank you

edit: I found VS2008 Experimental under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SDK > Tools. It's working now. Syntax highlighting for PHP files is working. Hope you continue your work on this. It could be a good alternative for non-free VS.PHP.

I forgot to register it for VS2008. But I'm struggling with the installer to make it work... I'll release it as soon as it works.

To make it work with the source code, you need to compile it, but it would work only with the VS2008 Experimental (the one launched when you run the debug of the project). I may send you the reg file to make it work with VS2008 (not experimental). However, this regfile contains paths to my file, not yours. You may have your own by running the RegPkg tool

Btw, this would be an awsome PHP IDE, once working.

It doesn't appear in Visual Studio 2008, I assume it is for VS 2005 only, however when I ran VS 2005 I saw the PHP project type without any file types and I got a VS crash saying that the package is corrupted.

Hi,

I did not try it with VS2005. I'm developping it against VS2008. However, it should work with VS2005... Thanks for reporting it.

Very nice idea!

I downloaded and ran the install.

How do I get it working with VS, and what versions does it work with (2005, 2008, express editions...).

Thanks,
