In part 1 of this series, I looked at the web browsers and (Windows) IDEs. Today I’m going to look at a local development server and its PHP configuration, as well as some of the IDEs/editors available for Linux, especially the cross-platform options.

FTA: "short_open_tag = On" Stopped reading there.

Did you even RTFA? The author does not put forth that you should enable this directive blindly. He simply said alot of PHP scripts (frameworks, et. all) make use of them, so you can save yourself alot of re-writing by enabling this. Jeez.

I wrote the post, and I'm not saying you should use short tags in your articles, just that you're setting up a development server, you'll be trying out a lot of PHP scripts, and to save yourself grief later on (it's hard to trace problems caused by lack of short_open_tag) you should enable the directive. Not doing so is somewhere between causing yourself trouble, ignoring reality and following best practices for their own sake.

No mention of Vim. Weak. :)

p.s. There's a new pre-bundled WAMP stack available, VertrigoServ ( http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/ ). I have only tried it minimally, but its resident tray application is very handy, with lots of nice shortcuts.
