I have to create a project in php. I am very used to the visual studio ide therefore it will be very nice if I could program my site in there. There is a plug in that enables you to create php projects in visual studio located in here.
When I open a php file it is great, I get the intelicence and code coloring.
the problem is that when I see the other parts of that page (html, javascript, css etc) I dont get the intelligence nor the dom help where I can select elements etc.
so javascript appears as:
to resolve this problem of the javascript and intelicence I told visual studio to treat php files as html by doing:
Tools –> Options –> Text Editor –> File Extension
after doing that I am able to get the intelicence on the html, javascript, css etc. but then I lose the php functionality.
It will be very nice if I could make this work with visual studio. I have to do this project in php I wish I had to do it on asp. So I was thinking that maybe I could combine the editors since the php editor only cares about what is inside and html about the rest…
As part of the popular and excellent MVC pattern, it is best to separate your HTML and PHP. This will solve more problems than just editor support.
