A really stupid question, but I can't get my head around it.

I have loads of projects, all with different "root folders", and nothing shared between them. I *think* that I should be creating a separate workspace for each, with a single project inside each.

But I have been trying it out, and I can't see what I have created...

When I create a workspace, how can I see what is in that workspace? And how do I start each project?

And assuming that I can get help with this, how do I delete all the workspaces and projects (within PhpEd) to start again?

Sorry for such dumb questions, but I have been around it so many times, and I am just getting more confused.

workspaces (ppw files) and projects (ppj files) are finally only files. If you want to delete them, just remove the files. Please note that prject is accompanied with ppx (code insight data) and ppd (profiler data) files. Before deleting you may want to close workspace, this operation is available in the menu.

I'm not sure what you mean under "start" the project. If you want to work with one of the projects in the Workspace, you need to make it active. See "activate" in the popup menu.

Thanks for that, got me started nicely...

Final question, can I only have one Project, and/or only one Workspace, open at once?

OK, so it wasn't quite the final question

I have downloaded the Evaluation Copy, 5.2, build 5210eval

Is this a copy of NuSphere PhpED Standard 5.2 for Windows? It appears not to be able to debug on the clients server, although I am very pleased with debugging on the local development server.

Instructions for setting debugging seem to say that you must restart PHP. But many of my clients have shared hosting, and wouldn't be able to do that. Does this mean that it is not possible to debug remotely on a shared server?

Debugging on the remote servers is certainly possible and is widely used by developers. All you need is debugger module installed on the server. In most cases you perform some changes in php.ini and restarting Apache (or whatever web server you use). If you have no appropriate rights to install anything on the server, you need to talk to your hosting provider. We may help with providing necessary info they may request.

I've not run into any shared hosts that will install a debugger on their main PHP install. However, you can sometimes do this in a shared environment if the host provides a way to install/configure your own copy of PHP. I've done this myself with pair.com, and it looks like Dreamhost supports this, as well.

Why don't they install it on the main php? They can disable debugger for all the vhosts by placing debugger.enabled=off in php.ini and enable it for selected vhosts by placing "php_admin_value debugger.enabled on" for particular vhost(s)
