portable IDE/debugger

[kalmejer 0]

Hi all,

 

I've successfully installed uni-serv on my USB stick, using it as a portable development server.

 

I'd like to add some debugging capabilities to my setup, and have installed DBG - 'PHP Debugger and Profiler' on top of php.

 

Does anyone know of any IDEs that can be used from a USB stick and works with the debugger, so that I can add breakpoints, etc. Commercial or freeware! I've looked briefly at PHPed and some others, but they seem far to heavy to be used in a portable setting.

 

Thanks!

I have heard of one but don't remember the name... You can search for it on sites like http://www.portablefreeware.com/

 

Good Luck....

Hi, thanks,

 

I've tried PHP expert editor from ankord development, which seems to be quite lightweight and works with a debugger. They also have an stand-alone debugger GUI -I haven't tried it yet (http://www.ankord.com/phpxdbg.html). I don't know if it'll work from an USB stick though

 

Maguma studio (open source version) also works with Uniform server with debugging tools installed, but I don't know how it works in a portable setting.

I've been using Notepad++ for a few months now and think its great.

You can get it from here: Notepad++.

It can be run from a USB stick and there are a number of plugins to extend the features, including one for debugging.

The plugins can be downloaded from here: Notepad++ Plugins.

I've been using this lately to debug an app and its been working fine for me.

Let me know how you get on and what you decide to use.

To sum up:

 

PHP can be debugged (portable+fixed) using Notepad++ [editor] and XDebug [php-Ext]

 

(XDebug communicates with DebugPHP plugin in Notepad++, if both are installed)

Hi Marshy would that be Download Oberon2Lexer.v0.3.1.zip (147.5 KB) Also bananaacid's Installation guide led to page not found. I need that link. Regards, Heinz Stapff.

Hey bananaacid this link isn't working but I could use it.

 

wikicomunity.com leads to Godaddy site but searching for HOW TO INSTALL ETC. fails?
