Textmate PHP Documentation   

I have updated some previous work done to bring php documentation tooltips to TextMate (original found here) by someone named M.Spreij. My updates simply make the script a little more refined, and add the option to expand a function with it’s args.

eg: you type ‘strstr‘, hit a key combo, and ‘strstr‘ is expanded to be ‘strstr( string haystack, string needle )

pdoc'd!

This was basically all I needed to make the switch from dreamweaver, I’m a convert! Now I’m just wating for my next paycheck to actually be able to purchase TextMate(hopefully before the eval period is over!).

At any rate, if you’re interested you can grab the source here.

The Lying Lies of Dreamweaver   

I really dislike Dreamweaver as a whole, however its code hiliting and completion are hard to beat. I’ve tried to ween myself off of Dreamweaver and onto something like TextMate or Komodo, but I can’t seem to ween myself off of it. Anyway, one of my biggest pet peeves about dreamweaver (Second only to its infamouse code rewriting) is its built-in FTP, which for some reason isn’t even 25% as reliable as Transmit and the fact that when it isn’t doing its job right, it lies to me! See for yourself:

Stop Lying!


How can the file activity be complete if its still putting??!

LIAR!


The file activity isn’t complete! You just couldn’t connect!

Perhaps Adobe will right all of these wrongs. We can only hope.
