PHP with Visual Studio

· 1 min read ·

I've done some PHP projects in the past for a few clients and found it to be a pretty good language and very powerful.  I used an application called HTML-Kit?which I think is pretty popular among PHP developers.  It has no auto-complete or anything, but it worked better than notepad.

Now I'm all .Net and Visual Studio.  Most hard-core Microsoft people I've worked with would never dream of touching php.  "ASP is better, so why should I even bother trying PHP?"  I expect PHP coders have the opposite argument.

However, I found a product that will let you code PHP in Visual Studio call VS.PHP.  You can find the link here:

I'm going to have to have a look at this.
