Dev-PHP Portable

Dev-PHP Portable is an integrated development environment (IDE) whose purpose is to help programmers create scripts and applications with the aid of the PHP scripting language and PHP-GTK library.

Portable tool

This is the portable version of the utility that comes with several advantages to your system. You can run it by simply opening the executable file. Uninstalling the tool means deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.
Copying it on any USB flash drive or other portable devices is also possible. It does not leave any entries in your Windows registry and store configuration data in your computer.

User interface and importing/exporting options

The multi-tabbed layout allows you to keep track of different documents (PHP or HTML) at the same time and easily switch between them.
Another feature that makes the working environment flexible and improves your workflow is the possibility to work with 13 panels that can be dragged onto the IDE and docked.
The tool lets you keep a list with recently used files and import data in the working environment using the drag-and-drop support. You may print or export the information to RTF or HTML file format, or save the scripts to CRLF, LF or CR file format.

Editing features

Aside from the basic editing functions that can be found in most IDEs that allow you to undo or redo your actions, cut, copy, paste or delete data, replace items, and perform searches, there’s support for some advanced parameters.
You can optimize or compress the code by stripping tables and linefeeds, and converting code to lowercase or uppercase or keeping case unchanged. In addition, you may jump to a specific line, insert tables, create bookmarks, run the PHP script, preview the script in a dedicated panel, send scripts via FTP, and enable the syntax checking mode.

Project management and other smart tools

Dev-PHP Portable gives you the possibility to save each project to a file on your disk so you can easily import it in the future. You can use the built-in highlighter for various programming languages, such as PHP, XML, Javascript, Python, and SQL.
Several configuration settings allow you to set up FTP parameters so you can easily upload files, link each file extension to a code highlighter, as well as adjust the syntax foreground and background color for comment, documentation, float, string, symbol, syntax error, and other functions.

Full-featured development environment for PHP

In conclusion, Dev-PHP Portable is suitable for creating PHP scripts using complex and advanced searching and bookmarking tools, syntax checking and highlighting, and table insertion tools.
