DzSoft PHP Editor 4.2.7.4

Nowadays, PHP is one of the most used programming language for creating websites. That's because it isn't difficult to learn, it's very flexible and it allows the creation of many different types of websites with minimum effort. But despite the fact that PHP is an easy to use programming language, it also needs a proper application in order for the user to master it properly. One could use Notepad for example, save the code as a PHP file and test it using a browser, but this takes a lot of time and any slight modification in the code would mean repeating this operation over and over again. Fortunately, there is a solution to this, the software DzSoft PHP Editor. It's a PHP editor that has all a user needs for creating fast and efficient PHP websites.

DzSoft PHP Editor installs in a blink of an eye and has low system resources. It can run on most versions of Microsoft Windows.

The interface resembles the one of a word processor, but it's more complex, having some supplementary elements. It consists of the editing window, where the user writes the actual code, a window that displays all the opened projects and one window for separating certain types of data, like classes, variables and so on.

The text of the source code has a different coloring, depending on the type of the used statement. Thus, the user can easy separate a class from a variable or from a function. The interface features some buttons for basic text formatting which, when pushed, they automatically add the necessary code in the project.

The PHP project can be run at any time to be checked for errors. Unfortunately, the user has to install a PHP Interpreter prior to running the project. This can be easily downloaded from the producer's website and is also easy to install thanks to the graphical tutorial.

For finding a certain phrase or value, DzSoft PHP Editor displays line numbers and also allows the user to bookmark a certain line, to be able to quickly find it any time he wants.

After installing the PHP Interpreter, running the project will help the user make an idea about how the webpage will actually look in a browser. The finished project can be saved in different file formats, ranging from PHP to XML and HTML. The code can also be printed directly from the program.

DzSoft PHP Editor includes some code templates that automatically add the code into the project and all the user needs to do is personalize it just the way he wants.

Pros:
It allows quick testing of the written code, helping the user make an idea about how the webpage will look like in a real world situation.

Cons:
Beginners will have trouble using the program because it requires basic PHP and web programming knowledge.

DzSoft PHP Editor is a useful and versatile program that has all a user needs to quickly create working PHP webpages.
