2 Rapid PHP bugs

[Guest]

First of let me say that this editor is by far the closest I have come to HomeSite (my current preferred code editor)! I am very impressed with the features offered in Rapid PHP. Once it is bug free I will most definenately be purchasing a copy.

1) it appears all you have to do is click on a document in multiple locations and the editor seems to think that the file has changed in the taskbar toolbar, and yes it still occurs even when you select "Constrain cursor to text", also when the incorrect file change is indicated by the taskbar, the undo buttons remain inactive, as a true indicator that the file really has not changed.

2) php syntax check does not seem to work at all! It always returns the syntax check as correct. I did provide the location to php.exe correctly.

Just to say that the Syntax check works for me (on limited tests anyway).

Thank you for your feedback.

1) Please describe close steps to reproduce the problem (e.g. open file, press that and click there). Also please add info about which editor options such as word wrap, tabs to spaces and cursor to text are used.

2) Could not reproduce, it works OK here. Which PHP exe file version are you using? Please try another php version - older or newer?

Thanks!

1)word wrap = no, tabs to spaces = yes, constrain cursor to text = yes (open file and randomly click on multiple places to trigger bug).

2)php 4.3.10

Hi again, I have just tried the new demo 6.1, unfortunenately the bug is still there.

Mee too. same thing.

I'm afraid I still can not reproduce this. Probably it depends on some characters used in the file. Please send your file and give exact instructions of where to click. Thanks in advance!

Try a longer file where the scrollbar is visible...keep scrolling and clicking anywhere on the document, it also does it after the file has been saved in Rapid PHP...where can I send the file?

[Karlis]

Send the file to support[at]blumentals.net

Thanks!

Here too (PHP version : 5.0.2 ), any syntax check return OK even on the default new-page, where I insert a K in echo, for example.

[Karlis]

If the syntax check does not work, please try different PHP version. I am still waiting for a file that causes the scrolling problem.

[Reuvenm]

As it looks, the syntax is checking matching (){}[] etc, but not PHP functions syntax (eg, a mistake in writing $_PHP_SELF vs $_PPH_SEFL, or str_replace vs srt_rpleace).
In that context: matching brackets/parentheses highlight will be helpfull.

[Karlis]

Bracket matching is available from the Search menu and also on the Search toolbar. Put the cursor near the opening or closing bracket and the match will be found.

I think this is caused by tabs in empty lines. When you type indented text and type "enter" two times, you have a tab at the beginning of the empty line. If you save the file now and reopen, then click on the right side of the empty line, you can see the cursorposition indented like the text above it. And now the bug: if you click some other place now, the tab in the empty line is obviously removed and the file appears changed, but undo is greyed out.

Hope this can help you!

there is another simpler way to reproduce:
- type a tabstop, then some letters.
- hit "enter" a couple of times
- save the file
- click somewhere to make it appear changed

I think it would be a good thing if those tabstops weren't removed once typed (if "constrain cursor to text" is activated). I often type empty function blocks, and when i move up to type the function, the cursor is at the beginning of the line again.
