That's part of the joke, you could probably localize it by changing to Liverpool Luton and Fosters.

After a year and a half of not having to work in PHP/MySQL, I am now being forced to revisit an old POC (proof of concept or piece of crap, take your pick) project that a customer has now decided they want to use, naturally with quite a few changes!..and they need it operating in less than two months! Previous PHP editing was done with Active State Komodo, which works OK, but has some quirks, and lacks a debugger. (at least for the free version) I thought this time I would try the PHP Tools for VS and after finally getting debugging working seem to be off to a good start. Now I just need to remember all the weirdness that goes along with PHP.

Why not try WebMatrix for PHP? 
Microsoft had started supporting PHP in WebMatrix 3 (not in Visual Studio). So, I believe you will get a lot of good tools for IDE under WebMatrix and they also support MySQL.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

I don't believe you can debug in WebMatrix. That was the drawback for me so I went with the WAMP stack and am using NetBeans IDE so I could debug.

There's a plug-in for PHP that's something like $90 that I bought which made working with PHP significantly less painful. Debugger support, etc.
PHP Tools For Visual Studio Extension[^]

Thanks Marc! That's the one I installed without realizing it was a trial version.  That's OK though, if it improves my chances of getting this project done on time, it will be worth the $90. So far it seems to work great!

I use VS.PHP[^] ...does everything from the comforts of my Visual Studio. I've done things like import Joomla and WordPress into it and debugged them.
It will work with its own internal webserver the way Visual Studio does or you can set up PHP on IIS and use that. Has all the usual syntax highlighting, Intellisense, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll try this one when the trial for the other runs out, then choose which one I like. Pricewise, this one has a slight edge...and free upgrades for life! I've just noticed that the updates for each version of VS are free, not so for the upgrades to newer versions of VS. Thanks!

The PHP support in Netbeans is pretty good. In fact I switched from PHPSTORM 8 (which I thought was pretty impressive, and which I paid for) to Netbeans, because the debugging support for my project (HTML5/CSS/JS & PHP/MySQL) turned out to be better and easier to configure and use.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, when I was in the PHP world, Netbeans was the IDE of choice for PHP.

Try VS.PHP, I am currently experimenting with it and helps in PHP development with ease of Visual Studio functionality.
Along with Xdebug, i'm able to debug php code in similar manners to that of asp.net

2700 lines of code with a note can you fix this. Sure, let’s see, ctrl a, delete. Now do the job from scratch. 8 hours of work and 700 lines of code later, it was fixed. Do the job from scratch it’s quicker.

[edit] No, that wasn't the job I turned down, hahaha [/edit]

Suggestions, advice, comments, personal experience, and discussion are invited and welcome.
Hoover's: Good Stuff
I spent some time on the phone, and a shared screen on my computer, with an agent of Hoover's, which is a Dun And Bradstreet company.
We discussed, and I was shown, how it works, what they can and cannot show me, cost, pricing, payment schemes, etc.
My immediate impression was: good stuff.
Bloomberg: Good Stuff
I spent some time on the phone with an agent from Bloomberg; also good stuff, though the price was something like 10x more than Hoover's.
LinkedIN: Big Maybe
LinkedIN does exist, but at the moment I'm not sure what, when, how, or even if, I could get anywhere near the same results.
Those are the only three business info services of which I am aware at this moment.
I'm thinking
Function Result(My_Time, My_Money, Their_Software, Their_Database, Unknown_Targets)
I searched for the words "Hoover" and "Bloomberg" here on CodeProject, Fascinating. Glanced over the first 10 or 20 results and didn't see this discussed; although I did see that we have more people here than I expected with Bloomberg Terminals. That surprised me quite a bit.
If you're one of those guys, tell me, from your own experience: Is Bloomberg going to deliver ten times better data than Hoover's ?
Plus, the bigger question: are there other companies whom I'm missing ?
These guys want (what I consider to be) significant money and a full year's commitment.
My recommendation will hold a lot of sway here, and I'm in totally unchartered waters with these guys. In that context, I need to make this choice with a lot of thought and a lot of sleep before we make the legal/financial step with either of these guys (or somebody else; ideas welcome).
While that's enough reason alone to be scared/careful/slow/cautious with this decision, even higher on the list is the fact that this is going to be a significantly contributing factor which affects my performance for the next year.
Anyone with personal experience is especially invited to chime in. Send me private messages here. Skype and the phone are available if you want.
With all that in mind, advice and opinions are welcome.

I hear that their chat feature is the most popular feature.

Hmmm, good question.
I guess the short answer is: Business Intelligence
Immediately reading those two words, that's almost like not answering the question.
We want to know, when we get contacted by a certain company whom we've never encountered before, just what kind of person and company wants to speak with us.
e.g., size of company, how long in business, markets, customers, competitors, and the color of the carpets in the hallways; those sorts of things.
