It’s really a pain editing PHP files when they are on remote server and specially when you are working on a machine that is not having any good IDE that allows syntax highlighting and indentation.
PhPanywhere is a beta project which is a kind of web based IDE for PHP language. It includes real time code editor that will allow syntax highlighting and indentation inside the browser window itself.
Not just syntax highlighting and indentation, PHP anywhere also has a feature to edit your remote files using its inbuilt FTP explorer. Other significant features which web developers will find very useful is its code folding feature, unlimited undo/redo, opening of unlimited tabs to work on different files and full internationalization.
So wherever you are, you don’t have to rely on your desktop IDE to edit PHP files in colored syntax highlighting and other useful features. And even if FTP port is blocked by your Network Firewall, this will work like a charm.
For those collaborating a project: You can share your documents with other users and collaborate it together too. This can be very useful if you are working on a Wordpress plugin or very small PHP based project.
