PHPEdit versions

v5.0 [Sep 3, 2012]
Saying new major version means new major features, and this one is not an exception, starting with a major feature that many of you have been waiting for:
JavaScript support
PHPEdit 5.0 gains a real JavaScript support, with the usual features you are used to in other languages:
Code Insight;
Code Hint;
Breadcrumb navigator;
Code Browser;
Quick links/Jump to declaration;
Token match;
Code Folding;
Smart Indent;
Comment/Uncomment.
HTML improvements
The HTML support has been improved too:
Comment/Uncomment like in PHP and CSS;
Quick links when pasting code containing accentuated characters or typing them in PHP files, to replace the characters with their corresponding HTML entity code;
Contextual help: Press F1 or Ctrl+F1 on tags to see their online documentation.
Code Insight improvements
One of the most important features of PHPEdit, the Code Insight, is getting smarter and easier to use:
A few new completions:
phpDoc tags;
Class names for phpDoc tags;
Ini_set/ini_get directives;
PHP variables in SQL strings;
Parent methods overridable in the extended class;
Mime types for some HTML attributes.
Support for array deferencing from PHP 5.4;
Better handling of completions with other keys than the “Return” key;
Loose filtering of the items in the list: just type the first letters of words from the item you are searching for and PHPEdit will find it for you.
For example if you are looking for “mysql_fetch_array”, just type “myfa”, and PHPEdit will show you a list of items containing words starting with one or more letters that you typed. This also works for items using the CamelCase syntax.
Help generator and Task report
The Help generator, phpDocumentor wizard, and Task report tool have been redesigned to be easier to use: A simple click in the project ribbon commands and the documentation of your project will be generated. You can configure which engine to use (PHPEdit’s internal engine, phpDocumentor, or the new ApiGen), and other customizations in the preferences, which will be remembered for your project for future generations.
