Hi

I've been using phped for a several years now, but during last few month i had to switch to zend studio because of the bugs of phped and the fact that phped didnot have
a lot of features i require. I cant say i like zend and i always wanted to switch back to phped. I was checking nuspehre website every second day hoping that phped4
is released and now when it is released and i dont knwo what to do...

All files i work with are located on test server and i access them using ftp. I was really surprised that phped is unable to do
inline spell check for remote files (what zend stuio happily does), only that is a serious enough for me to stay with zend.

In addition to it i found that phped shows function/classes/methods from other then current files in code insight only if they are part of the project, but i dont want
and i cant use projects! Projects can consist only of local files, and i dont have any local files... Zend does it slightly better, it shows classes/methods
in code insight from all currently opend files, and it is fine since most of the time files i refer to are opened but this is not ideal either..

Ideal code insight would use virtual project to collect data, i want to be able to point editor to a directory (and remote too) and have it
treated as "project", have code ingsiht scan all files and build a database of methods/classes. DB should be updated when i change something in the code
or tell editor to rebuild db. This would make it really usefull tool!

These issues stoping me from going back to nice & improved phped4, and i really want to go back...

Do you have any plans to address these issues in the nearest future?

One thing I had to get used to when starting to use PhpEd is that it requires (for obvious reasons) local copies of the files. I did not like that in the beginning, but give it a try. It will solve all your problems.

You can use the smart sync / download feature to copy your whole project / website to a local directory. Then set up a project for it, open the files locally and always press Ctrl-Shift-S (IIRC) to upload everything immediately if you changed something.

What are your good reasons against using projects?

When remote files are edited in phped it creates a copy of the file in tmp directory, it should use this file to enable all local only stuff like inline spellcheck

All my projects are stored in SVN on devel server, i also have to use devel server for my working copies because when i commit files from win32 they are comitted with windows line breaks,
it is possible to setup svn to change linebreakes for a certain types of files but this can cause errors if i start using some new file types and forget to update svn, and also as far as i remember it wasd not very straight forward way to configure SVN to do that.

If i create a local copy of the working copy and use ssh only for work with svn it would be really twisted way and triple file dublication...

Well, i guess it is acceptable for a big projects wehre i'd never do anything on the server directly, but what about quick open file on ftp/edit/save/forget and have inline spell check there?

I dont like projects because i'm used to universal "projects" by the means of directory hierarchy
I dont like to dublicate that hierarchy and add files only thru editor and make sure that all files are present there, and... actually i've just found that phped dont force to me do all manipulcations in editor only and i still can create files & folders using external tools!! Ok, looks like i was wrong, projects in phped are not evil I'm ready to give them a try

if only phped could fully support remote files & projects consisting out of remote files it would be my dream editor!

Another feature i am dreaming about is ability to edit 2 files side to side, i can open 2 phped instaces side to side but this is not as comfortable as if editor would suport it internally
