Thanks,

I use NotePad++, excellent tool, But you wont get Intel*** support. But you will give you way better environment than vim,
With winscp you can easily edit php file from remote machine.

but all these are editors NOT IDEs so there is no components like the Label, Text, Checkbox, etc just like the way it is there in Visual Studio..
Does this mean all PHP IDEs are just Editors or I can still find real IDE?
Regards,
Jassim

So you prefer to drag a component from a toolbox rather than hand code? OK, try this ...
Well, then go spend a lot of money buying Microsoft Expressions, even then it might not do everything that you want. However, you could also spend some money hoping that this PHP plugin for Visual Studio, available from here http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php[^], can do what you want, but as I have not had reason to use that VS plugin, thus, I could not possibly comment.

As PHP is new to you, go get yourself some tutorial literature.
Such as this book ...
Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition by W. Jason Gilmore. Apress
Or such as websites like this ...
PHP 101[^]
Have fun

Even if Visual Studio did not contain a Visual Designer, a ToolBox, etc, it would still be an IDE. All it takes to be an IDE is to have two or more components that are necessary in software development. Any app that offers editing+compiling+debugging IS an IDE.

Judging from the other posts, you are new to PHP and welcome to PHP by the way.

PHP is a Server side scripting langauge and does not have UI components built into the language. You have to still use the HTML UI components and tie in the PHP on the back end to the HTML labels, textboxes, comboboxes, etc.

Eclipse or ZendStudio .They're open-source software, performing excellently.I think you'll love it

Hello Jassim,
If you are looking for something free, you can either use eclipse along with XDebug. Take a look at this article:
http://devzone.zend.com/1147/debugging-php-applications-with-xdebug/[^]
If you are willing to spend a few bucks, I highly recommend Nusphere PHPED. You can download a trial version from here:
http://www.nusphere.com/download.php.ide.htm[^]
Personally I prefer Nusphere PHPED over Eclipse, NetBeans, or even Zend Development Environment because I find it a lot more user friendly and Visual Studio like, speaking of which there is also a PHP Visual Studio add-on which let's you develop PHP solutions inside Visual Studio. Take a look at that here:

I'm all set up with 11.10... so far so good!
I can see why some hate the Unity desktop (not very Linux-like, very different than other desktops) but if you approach it with an open mind... its very neat!

Ok, I give up... If I use the commented out SQL I get nothing, however if I use the SELECT * the "match" is hit. I'm running out of ideas. I've tried removing the ' around the variable, I added periods around it and still nothing. If I just type the value in I'm looking for 'John Smith' for example it finds it, just not when I use the variable...
echo "<p>myusername should = " . $empUserName . "</p>";
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM empComm";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
echo "Connected";
while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if($db_field['name'] = $empUserName){echo "match<br />";}
print $db_field['ecID'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['name'] . "<BR>";
print $db_field['password'] . "<BR>";
}
That first line is correct it displays myusername should = John Smith
The table only has 3 fields, ecID, name, password and really I only want to get the ecID. Well actually I was doing a join to make life easier but I wasn't getting anything so I just created this simple query and still nothing. I'm sure I'm forgetting something simple.
Thanks in advance!!!

Check for leading/trailing spaces in the variable and in the database name column.
Your if($db_field ... test is confusing things because you should be using == to test the field - by using = you are changing the value you get from the database to the $empUserName value, which you then print out.

I would write it like so:
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM empComm WHERE name = '".$empUserName."'";
and make sure no spaces sneak in.
If that doesn't work, I'd seriously doubt your database content, so print out empComm.name (both string value and string length) for a visual check.

Dude,
You have made a classic mistake. Very funny.
It is
if($db_field['name'] = $empUserName){echo "match<br />";}
and it should be
if($db_field['name'] == $empUserName){echo "match<br />";}
few more things,
make sure your Query execution is successfull.
so the line should be
$result = mysql_query($SQL) or die("Error In Query :".$SQL."<br>".mysql_error());
