What a PHP Developer Needs
January 10, 2008 – 5:04 pm- phpMyAdmin
This is a script that is used to administrate your MySQL database. There is also the phpPgAdmin for users of PostgreSQL databases.
- ADOdb
ADOdb is a database abstraction library. It is very useful not just for abstraction, but ADOdb also performs some useful checks in your SQL queries, and also has many built-in functions and features such as auto pagination. Of course, using other database abstraction libraries are fine too, such as ADOdb Lite.
- Smarty
Smarty is a popular template engine. A template engine helps separate the code from the design, making it easier for you to change the layout of your game.

Just a quick add about the programs used for coding with OS X:
BBEdit - The best there is, but sadly not free
Smultron - Decent editor and a big plus on the Open Source community (free)
I think that a decent FTP-Program should also be added because uploading everything manually can become a pain in the @$$.
Here’s my OS X favorite: Cyberduck
- Sinzygy

I always use Vim for text editing, it does take some time to learn but it is a really good text editor. I’ve never used one of those bundled Apache/PHP/MySQL/whatever else packages - I’ve always downloaded them and set them up seperately.

Great post. We also use Vim for text editing, it. Love BBEdit, too… but of course it’s for Mac. Sigh.
Kind regards,
