I find myself in need of a PHP IDE and, after doing a google search, found a couple that use Eclipse as their base. I was wondering if you have any plans to add PHP capabilities; if so, when; and what would you recommend in the meantime?

I am asking because I would not want to add something that would interfere with MyEclipse. Nor would I want to add something unnescesary if PHP is in MyEclipses near future.

Thanks.

We don’t plan on supporting PHP since we are a J2EE tool developer, however there is quite a good Eclipse PHP plugin called PHP Eclipse: http://www.phpeclipse.de/tiki-view_articles.php

I’ve been tinkering with the PHP Eclipse tool. It’s still got a little way to go.. it’s got some quirks, but overall it’s very well done. It also seems to behave nicely along side a MyEclipse 4.03 installation.

With all due respect then please refrain from the following emails. Granted your business plan could have changed in the month between your response to this post and the email below but I wanted to make you aware of email feedback and what exists in the forums is not in sync. I just purchased the pro version (not for PHP but for the dbase, javascript and wysiwyg HTML designer) today as the price was reasonable (compared to what I spent on VS.NET 2003) and am enjoying it.

Joe,

We appreciate your consideration for MyEclipse.

MyEclipse 4.0.3 should already provide a database explore, ERD visualization
and an SQL editor. Release 4.1 (Mid December delivery) will add significant
JavaScript development capabilities including the 1st Eclipse Based JS
debugger and many AJAX features.

PHP support is on our long-term road map and will likely tackle in 2006.

You should take advantage of our 30-day free trial offer and try MyEclipse
in your environment. The trial period should apply to 4.1 GA when released.

Best Regards

Joe,
I’ll double check with subscriptions to see what info they have, it’s entirely likely they know more than I do about the future roadmap.
