html/css/jquery/javascript code completion in php file phpEclipse


This is my first post at this site. I searched alot but couldn't find what i was looking for so i decided to post the question.

Im a php developer. I was using dreamweaver because i like many features of dreamweaver like code/design view, html/css/jquery/javascript code completion within PHP file. The reason why i am switching from dreamweaver that it doest not provide debugging for php.

I installed phpeclipse and found it very promising but its missing many features i really liked in dreamweaver. I managed to install web page editor for design view but code completion for html css etc in php file is not working.

Is it possible to add all these features in phpeclipse? or Is it possible to find all these feature in some other php IDE other than phpeclipse?

Thanks!


Solution

  • Yes indeed. There are two ways for the above. Netbeans 7.2 comes with a great support for PHP and also has some good plugins. The other way is that you can install apatana studio plugin in eclipse which provides autocompletion in css,html and JavaScript. Both the IDE's are promising. Try to install Apatana Studio on phpeclipse since it comes as a plugin. This would solve your problem. I would strongly suopport Apatana Studio with your existing setup for PHP in eclipse. Here is the link http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download The above mentioned link is the download page.
