Delphi for PHP trial

Look forward to the N days, every day on the website of CodeGear, finally, this afternoon to see Delphi for PHP Trial version can be downloaded, so can't wait to download to my machine, ready for the first time trial.

Download speed is slow, about 57K speed bar, download filename d4php_trial.exe, size is 30,165,616 bytes (28M), spents 8 minutes 29 seconds.

BDN login to download, before downloading will be prompted to register the mailbox to send a trial version of the registered license mail, the attachment has a text file, install Delphi for PHP, before running must put this license file to c:documents and settings< Current login Username > This folder is OK, otherwise it will pop up the window that requires the registration code to be entered.

The startup interface is really beautiful! It starts very fast, much faster than Delphi7. Start the IDE at the same time will start a PHP DBG Listener, the icon looks a bit familiar, point open its about form after, sure enough with the Nusphere Dongdong. Think about 2000 years to learn PHP when using the Nusphere IDE environment phped, when the version seems to be 3.0.

First look at the About window, showing the version number is 1.0.1.414. Create a new project, drag the last edit and a label, a button, press F9, lean, and do not start the browser and display the page. Not after setting browser in Tools->options. Don't know what the reason. But my co-workers are basically ready to run when they copy and install them from my machine. Say "basic" means that the page does not appear, but automatically opened IE, only the above shows the server error prompts. may be related to the environment of the respective machine. My machine is fitted with oracle,mysql,sql Server,delphi ... Sweat , directory permissions are confusing, yesterday, the installation of SQL Server was tossing n times. So the judge is not the Delphi for PHP bug. Later I will find a clean machine to install.

When you publish a page, the default is to publish some of the files in the VCL directory with Delphi for PHP to the VCL directory in the specified directory. Even if there is only one page site, there will still be 41 files (including JS and Xajax folders) under the VCL directory. Even the Use_unt (...) in the page Removed, Deployment Wizard will still be listed. May not understand this product too deeply, and will not use the reason.

The Delphi for PHP and Delphi 7.0 a little contrast, temporarily found that the IDE has the following similarities and differences:

1, Delphi for PHP in the same support by Ctrl+e progressive search;

2, press ctrl+f, pop-up search conditions on the interface is not like Delphi 7 You can choose to search in the current file or in all currently open files. This is not very cool;

3, the IDE interface color can also be set to Twillight. In Delphi 7 Edit the program I have been using this color settings, very pleasing to the eye and intuitive;

4, Data Explorer only listed MySQL and interbase two kinds of databases, but if you drag a database control to the page, you will find that it has 47 kinds of drivers, sweat ...

5, F5, F9, F11, F12 and other commonly used shortcut keys and Delphi 7;

6, VCL for PHP help is very complete, but the explanation in the help is very simple. This is not very cool;

7, how also can not normally close Delphi for PHP ... The Goose drops God ... It is mandatory to end the program each time. I guess it's still the reason for my machine.

Initial Trial Impressions:

Delphi for PHP in the field of PHP editor in a new way to develop PHP programs, regardless of the full object-oriented support, debugging, development efficiency, and so on, no previous development tools can be compared with it. I used Zend Studio 5.0 to be nice, but it was slow, and it didn't support visual development like drag and drop controls. But to be sure, later Zend Studio will certainly support.

Delphi for PHP is very simple to use, even if you have not used Delphi or PHP, it is easy to use it to complete a website. Trust the Borland developer's ability to believe that Borland's product is still the best IDE in the world.
