Adhering to a coding convention can have many benefits including improved readability and reduction in maintenance cost. However, maintaining a consistent coding style can be a tedious task. The problem is confounded when you work as part of a team of developers, each with their own unique coding style.
Zend Studio is the leading PHP IDE. It is the only PHP IDE that combines mobile development with PHP and includes a sample mobile app with source code. Corel Customer Service can assist you with orders, product registration, and any questions you may have.
PHP CodeSniffer is a tool that checks code against a defined set of rules, covering anything from whitespace through doc comments to class naming conventions and beyond. We’ve been using it for about a year and it’s worked out great. Our team now has a unified coding style and the CodeSniffer tool ensures that we’re always following it.
The following commands will install PHP_CodeSniffer on Mac OS X Yosemite and help you overcome a common set up problem.
Install PHP_CodeSniffer
Per the PHP_CodeSniffer documentation, ensure you have PEAR installed and then run:
PHP_CodeSniffer is installed at this point but if you try to run
phpcs
, you may receive some errors about theinclude_path
:Fix the include_path errors
To fix the
include_path
errors, run the following commands:Verify it works
Now
phpcs
will run without errors:
Many of the developers and Via have integrated phpcs with SublimeText for instant feedback on standard violations. Check out our GitHub repo for information on setting it up as well as our custom ruleset that we have created.
First let me say I've never used PHP but I'm looking to learn it, so my question is this how do you use PHP within Visual Studio Ultimate? is it similar to how you declare JQuery i.e
I've done multiple searches on Google, but I don't get the answer I'm looking for.
Or do I need a complete different bit of software to use it?

By default VS is not made to run PHP, but you can do it with extensions:
You can install an add-on with the extension manager, PHP Tools for Visual Studio.
If you want to install it inside VS, go to Tools > Extension Manager > Online Gallery > Search for PHP where you will find PHP Tools (the link above) for Visual Studio. Also you have VS.Php for Visual Studio. Both are not free.
You have also a cool PHP compiler called Phalanger:
If I'm not mistaken, the code you wrote above is JavaScript (jQuery) and not PHP.
If you want cool standalone IDE's for PHP: (Free)
- Netbeans: https://netbeans.org/downloads/start.html?platform=windows&lang=en&option=php
- Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/heliosr
Maybe we should help you with a big misunderstanding on your side first: PHP is (like ASP.NET or whatever you used to far) a server side language while javascript is client side.
This means that PHP will run on your webserver and create a HTML page dynamically which is then sent to the browser. Javascript in turn is embedded (either directly or as a referenced file) into this HTML page and runs in the browser.
Maybe you can now understand why your approach so far could never work out.
ZzeTry Visual Studio Code. Very good support for PHP and other languages directly or via extensions. It can not replace power of Visual Studio but it is powerful addition to Visual Studio.And you can run it on all OS (Windows, Linux, Mac...).
Maybe it's possible to debug PHP on Visual Studio, but it's simpler and more logical to use Eclipse PDT or Netbeans IDE for your PHP projects, aside from Visual Studio if you need to use both technologies from two different vendors.
QuirkHere are some options:
- Visual Studio PHP (VS.Php).
- PHP Tools for Visual Studio by DEVSENSE.
Or you can check this list of PHP editor reviews.

I don't understand how other answers don't answer the original question about how to use PHP (not very consistent with the title).
PHP files or PHP code embedded in HTML code start always with the tag <?php
and ends with ?>
.
You can embed PHP code inside HTML like this (you have to save the file using .php
extension to let PHP server recognize and process it, ie: index.php):
or you can use a whole php file, ie: test.php:
there's no document.ready
in PHP, the scripts are processed when they are invoked from the browser or from another PHP file.
