PHP in Visual Studio

.net, Development, Microsoft, PHP, Windows February 15th, 2007

Visual Studio is Microsoft’s flagship .net development environment and is considered by most to be the tool of choice for .Net development, but like all of Microsoft’s development products, it only supports languages encompassed by .Net. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to use Visual Studio for PHP as well as .Net? The team at Jcx.Software thought so, creating a fantastic Visual Studio add-on for PHP development known as VS.PHP.

Here is a brief overview of what VS.PHP brings to Visual Studio:
  • PHP Syntax Highlighting
  • Smarty Template support
  • Code snippets
  • Code auto formatting

This is not a complete feature list by any means. I suggest heading over to the VS.PHP Product Page to see for yourself all the features this software brings to VS. I highly recommend this software for any PHP developer.

Unfortunately VS.PHP is not freeware, however for professional developers, the $99 price tag is a small price to pay for what you get in return.

    I strongly believe that PHP in a professional development environment like Visual Studio .NET would promote a lot more productivity. I’ll check out the add-on seems very promising.

    Thanks for the info.
