PHP Online Editor

Ive made something awesome saterday, an online php-editor.
Its not finished yet but it wont take long anymore ...
A big advantage of the editor is that you can browse through your site [@the server] and you can directly edit a file ( no re-uploading required ).

Features:
* it automaticly generates a info section in the edited file witch tells you when it was last modified, when it was modified, and copyright...
* CTRL combinations with the most used text [ example: CTRL+B = ]
* No reuploading required !
* Browse through your site-files in HTML.
* When you browse you can also insert new directorys,new files,upload files, and view file-info.
* This all requires a good security, i used php_sessions with md5 protection.

cya,

Wow, so its an all in one package? Editor, file browser, and an uploader? This will be very helpful and useful - you can sell this and actually make lots of money out of it :roll:

Lots of hosts are now providing an easier service for their clients - so they can update their sites without needing to know all those "complicated" things that we go through as webmasters. I think your product will be very successful in that environment. Looking forward to give it a test drive 8)

WOW, i just given this new script Thomas has built a test drive. He actually managed to hack all the gfxdiary site files, write himself a clever app that pulls everything off the GfxDiary server and add changes. But the "interestin" thing that shocked me is that it actually had a Biomutation skin he managed to pull off my site :shock:

I'm really impressed, good thing it has a pass/username otherwise this could be a lethal weapon! If you think how Windows Explorer does wonders for browsing files on your computer, this works similar on your server PLUS giving you the ability to edit files on the go. One thing that was also nice about this is the ability to highlight PHP syntax just like many apps such as Dreamweaver, FrontPage... I dont think any forum has used such addon to their Code Display feature. :roll:

Overall, i think the script can be enhanced more - i'll skin further since i'm the one who designed Biomutation :P There are many things that can be done with this script. When its ready i'll show you guys a preview and you can test drive this baby.

Score: 3.5/5 (given its only the first ever beta it has serious potential)

does anyone know how to convert the colors given with highlight_file($file); to a HTML textarea ?
If you dont know that, do you know how to get different text colors in a HTML textarea ?

thanks,
Thomas

Where can I find this script ?
I realy would like to do a testrun myself ...

Thanks

This script is currently built and used exclusivly on GfxDiary. We have no immediate plans to distribute it but we have plans to start a developement center on GfxDiary and we may release some of our in-house scripts and technology...

i'm sorry, but it isn't possible to use the phpfunciton highlight_string/file in a (x)html textarea...

the only thing you can do is create some kind of WYSIWYG editor thingy, that will highlight your php string...

not that hard i suppose, but not that easy to :P

the problem however is, it the colors need to update if you type something

The only way i can see is when u finished typing ur code you would have a button for "Highlight Code" and it will parse everything and show u the rainbow text 8)

lol, ill find a way, some day ...
now lets focus on the prior projects ^^
