PHP in Visual Studio
I am currently building PHP using Visual Studio as my IDE. I have installed Phalanger Visutal studios integration to get PHP projects and so on, but I want VS to recognize PHP start and end tags like standard ASP.
ie when I type <% %
> into the html editor I want the PHP tags to behave the same<? ?>
I searched for "Tag Specific Parameters" and created a tag named? But it shows the closing tag incorrectly like <? /?>
Can this be done?
Greetings

You can also try PHP Tools for Visual Studio . The Phalanger integration is now also built on top of it.

I guess I really don't think Visual Studio is a good place for PHP code, but maybe it's just me. I would rather use DreamWeaver or even Notepad ++ (free) which does syntax highlighting and more.
Is there a specific reason why you want to use Visual Studio for PHP? Usually VS is for Microsoft languages ββlike C #, VB, C ++,. NET, etc.
Is there any specific reason why you need to use VS? If not, I highly recommend you try Eclipse with PDP, Netbeans, or Aptana. All three are great free PHP IDEs that are extensible and offer versions specifically designed for PHP development.
I work in .Net and agree that VS is a great IDE, but the alternatives listed above are equally feature rich and better adapted to PHP coding.
