PHP Manual for HomeSite
(4.0MB)
(Alt Download)
|
This doc set includes the PHP4 Reference Manual, version January 19, 2002.
It has been massaged to make it work under HomeSite's help.
This manual set was converted from the
current PHP(4) manual XML to html,
then the files were rearranged into subdirectories to ease use. It is searchable.
Note that more downloadable versions are available
here, but they have not been
rearranged into subdirectories as this version has.
This is a 4.0 MB file. Since this is so large, David and I encourage anyone
to distribute from their sites, if they wish (to save us the bandwidth :)
Email me
the url if you do and I'll add a link here.

| PHP Context Sensitive Help in HomeSite |
Add the contents of the included file to the end of the "Homesite 5\Help\htmlspec file list.idx"
file to make it possible to use the context sensitive help with the PHP manual for HomeSite (above).
Presto F1 works for PHP keywords! Instructions included.
Note: the PHP manual may need to be installed in the same directory as the .idx file. |

PHP Online Help
(php function lookup) |
This script looks for a valid PHP function name at the current
cursor position, then attempts to get the documentation for the
function and displays it. Similar to the other quick PHP function
lookups but with a number of advantages. Basically, it works
exactly like the Tag Help function in Homesite.
See the script header for more details. |

| Custom Dialogs / Tag Editors (VTM) |
# | |
| Currently there are only a few PHP-specific custom dialogs (that I know of).
Check here for some ASP and normal HTML or javascript
custom dialogs to give you ideas of what to create for PHP. |
| PHP/MySQL Database Functions Dialog |
A custom dialog to help you generate PHP code to do various
database access functions including: functions used to connect to a MySQL
database, break up a query result into pages, colour rows of a table in
a query result, convert MYSQL datetime data type into a readable format,
and limit the number of characters of a string sent to the browser. |

| PHP/MySQL Session Wizard |
A custom dialog to build a template file for establishing a php session.
Also included are tabs that provide a link to a page to destroy the
session and create a javascript function that prompts the user to
chose whether they want the session destroyed or not. This is a great
tool for password protecting files from unauthorized access. |

| ExpressionBuilder / Function Insight Extensions |
# | |
| PHP 4 function insight and context sensitive help |
This will enable function insight and context sensitive help for PHP 4
functions and make them available in the Expression Builder. In order
for this to work you will also need to download the PHP manual. Refer
to the included installation instructions for more details.
For those that don't know:
- Function insight displays a list of a function's parameters while
you're typing the function.
- Context sensitive help displays a function's documentation if you
hit the F1 key while the cursor is on the function's name. |

This is a first-class EB package enabling access to
PHP functions, operators, constants, format strings and other general
language constructs. Once installed, all of its PHP functions become
available via Function Insight.

This script displays the help file/description for functions defined in the
ExpressionElements.vtm file.
The script supports the default EE file (CF functions),
Marjolein's EE for PHP and Brent Bains
excellent EE for ASP/VBscript.
New in functionHelp2: supports partial match ie; if the selected
word is resp, it will find all functions starting with resp.
Sorry but this version doesn't support PHP. The ExpressionElements.vtm
for PHP uses the DESCRIPTION field, not the HELPFILE field. If you're
coding PHP, use version 1.1. |

but there are many more available at Asp4Hs: WSH Scripts.
Look there or at WSH resource links to find other
useful scripts, examples and docs to help you write your own scripts.
To install scripts, see KB Article 13410.

| HTML to PHP converters |
# | |
| PhpPrintText |
Converts selected HTML to PHP print code statements,
escaping characters in the line as necessary. This is very useful if
you have HTML code you want to simply paste into a PHP page to be
written by the server. Highly recommended.
Carl writes: "I use the "Here doc" format of print for more than 3 lines.
I felt this is more useful and is not used by enough experienced
developers when embedding HTML. If you prefer the escaped character format
then use the other version I include."

| Function Browsers, etc |
# | |
Script Explorer
(updates)
|
This function browser is similar to Procedure Explorer, but with additional
features. It gives you a quick way to look at all the functions in
all your open files, jump to one, insert function calls, or
add a comment block to the top of your file to enumerate all the functions in
that file. You can keep your include files open and have easy access to all common code.
Useful for client-side and server-side j[ava]script or vbscript.
(now has vbscript "Sub" support)
Note: Using this patch,
by André Langhorst, ScriptExplorer works great for PHP too.

| cis_header |
This script will insert commented header information into the top of
current file with the filename, username, and dates already filled in.
The header will be commented out in a manner appropriate to the file
type being edited. Subsequent calls to this script will update the
"Last Updated" field and the "Last modified by" field, without
modifying anything else. Currently supported: cfm, asp, asa, js, vbs,
htm, bas, css, html, shtml, stm, pl, php3 |

| Comment Block Tool |
This is a custom add-in that allow the user to insert
code documentation at the top of all code templates in an easy standard
format. This tool pops up a set of dialog boxes that request information
from the user and then generates a document header. This tool is a must
have for any consultant that needs to document all code in a standard
format. Defaults to CF-style comments, but can be easily modified
using the included directions for comment styles for other languages
(HTML, ASP, PHP or JSP/Java, etc). |

| CVS Header Script |
This script, based on cis_header will insert
a 'standard' CVS file header into the top of current file. It is
designed specifically for use with PHP scripting, and has been
tested in those documents only. It is also written to support standard
comment markers for the following file types (by extension): htm, css,
xml, and js. Note, that it is "very" easy to alter the begining and ending
comment markers, or to add support for other extensions. |

MythScripts
Function and Inline Commenting |
This package allows VBScript (other languages work as well with a little tinkering)
comments to be placed through the currently opened source file. These comments are
well laid out and allow developers to quickly insert Function and Inline comments.
This package also illustrates good use of scripts to install other scripts. |

| Comment and UnComment Code |
This package includes two scripts -- one to comment code, the other to
uncomment code. Each works with a selection, and prepends/strips comment
characters at the beginning of each line. Code indentation is preserved.
This greatly speeds development and debugging by allowing whole blocks
of code to be rapidly commented and uncommented - with a keystroke or
from the toolbar. Both scripts work by attempting to guess what comment
characters (language) is required from the file extension. |

| C-style Comment/Uncomment |
This script comments the current selection, or uncomments it if it
already is commented with the long C-Style comment for PHP (or C,
C++, Javascript, JScript etc.) Notable particularly because you can
uncomment by just placing your cursor anywhere within a /* */
comment pair and it will find the nearest comment start and end
to remove. |

| An Improved FTP Upload Script |
A script to speed up HomeSite's ftp update process by storing dates in
a file for quicker comparison. "One of the major bugbears of HomeSite
is that using the iterative file deployment scripts takes almost forever.
This script changes all that by attempting to post only the most recent
updates rather than a brute force FTP upload. What used to take fifteen to
twenty minutes for the script to check and upload a large project now only
takes a matter of seconds." |

| Save2Server |
With one click, you can upload the active file in HomeSite to the
deployment location defined in the properties for its project folder.
It's as easy as clicking the "Save" button while working on a web page.
Written because there doesn't appear to be a way to deploy an
individual file in HomeSite. This script is VERY useful when you don't
have a local web server and you are forced to test your web pages remotely. |

| AutoComplete Script |
This script is supposed to mimic the autocomplete functions like those
on the unix command line, where you hit tab and it fills in characters
that match existing filenames. Except this can be used mostly for
variable names. It works by reading in the whole document, and
searching for words that match the part of a word you have typed.
Tie it to a keyboard shortcut for easy use. |

customize it please see the comments at the beginning of the

| Open File |
This script allows you to edit the file a link points to. Clicking on
the script when your cursor is within a support tag opens the linked
file in HomeSite or the associated editor.
This version is more powerful and flexible than
"Edit linked file"
since it gets around the specifics of particular linking or
include syntax by opening any relatively-linked file whose path
and filename is within quotes.
This also handles #name in urls and attempts to navigate to the
line containing the corresponding <a name="name">.
It can call an external app based on a table of filename extensions.
Please note: works only for relative links. See also

This script toggles server mapping on and off, without touching the mappings themselves.
It's the equivalent of opening the Settings dialog to the Browse page and toggling the
"Enable server mappings" checkbox. If you then create a custom toolbar button that

http mappings and local paths. |

Macromedia has made the source scripts for all the syntax coloring parsers
that come with HomeSite available for download. Now HomeSite users can tweak
or improve the syntax coloring that comes with HomeSite without having to write
their own from scratch. You can also build your own parsers for additional
languages with these as starting points. (Previously only the compiled files
were available for the HS parsers, not the source scripts)
These are from HomeSite v5.2. Here is the

than one PHP block is included in a single HTML tag attribute.
