PHP Application from Remote Server
NetBeans 6.7 is nearly out so it's time to start developing new features for the next release...
Today, I would like to inform you that we have just added one thing that could help people who would like to develop their PHP applications that are on a remote server. For such users, we have added a new PHP project wizard that takes care about correct project setup. Now, let's try to create such project:
First, invoke new project wizard, select PHP and then PHP Application from Remote Server.
The next step, Name and Location, is already well-known so let's skip it here and continue with the last step.
As you can see, NetBeans asks you only for minimum information - project URL (to be able to run the project) and a remote server together with a remote directory (to be able to download/upload the project).
If we click Finish, remote files are downloaded to the newly created project.
Of course, everything is logged so one can see the progress as well as investigate if any error occurs.
The newly created project is properly configured so every single change to your source files should be immediately propagated to your remote server so you can easily run the project or a file.
That's all for today, we hope that you will welcome this feature, especially users who don't have their own server/PHP/database installed locally. And as always, please give it a try and report all the issues you find, thanks a lot.
Wow, MS Visual Studio has had this sort of capability for years now. It's good to see this developing for NetBeans. One area I hope you improve on VS is the integration with CVS and remote sites. This is difficult in VS, as Microsoft prefers to integrate more closely with their own content management software. It would be especially great if CVS integration would allow for a seamless build, deploy-to-test, deploy-to-prod scheme. That would work well with our dev/prod VM scheme.

Dobrý den,
nevím, kde jinde se můžu zeptat, tak se ptám tady.
Kde jde nastavit defaultní šablonu pro PHP projekt?
Když vytvořím nový projekt, vždy má index.php doctype html transitional.

Nothing about how source files under version control will be handled?

To Charles Soto:
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean exactly; NetBeans has built-in support for CVS, SVN and HG.
Thanks,
Tomas

Not sure what you mean exactly; if one uses any VCS for his/her project then he/she probably doesn't need any FTP/SFTP... Of course, this is preferred and recommended.

To murwazy:
Yes, this is a place for improvement - could you please file an ENHANCEMENT using NB IssueZilla (URL in blog post)? I would add some simple include/exclude pattern, not only for this wizard but for PHP projects in general.
Thanks,
Tomas

To Tomas Mysik:
právě že tak jsem to zkoušel, ale tímto způsobem nenastavím defaultní šablonu pro index.php

To Lukas:
Mate pravdu, ta stranka je primo soucasti PHP projektu. Z toho bohuzel plyne, ze ji nelze zmenit. Nicmene, toto IMHO neni zasadni bug, protoze:
- clovek nevytvari novy projekt tak casto,
- work around je jednoduchej - smazat vygenerovany index.php a vytvorit novou stranku
Pokud nesouhlasite, zadejte bug a uvedte use case, proc je to pro Vas tak dulezite.
Diky,
Tomas

i would like to try this but it looks that the relases of 13 and 14 june are broken (bugs are in issuezilla) and they eat up all the memory.
i'm wondering, is there a place to read cvs/mercurial daily changelog messages ?

Sorry, I pointed you to the incorrect mailing list, it's for PHP users; for commit logs, please subscribe to cvs@php.netbeans.org. Instructions are on the same page.

Hi, I think Netbeans its a great IDE for php.
I also write php-gtk apps and I thinks it will be nice if you add support for this extension.
I allready have a lot of equivalen php documented source files for the gtk extension for the code completion feature, the rest its just the same as the php local script.
if you want those php documented files, let me know

To XeKtRuM:
Could you please send me (tomas dot mysik at sun dot com) what you have? I would look at it. Or maybe better, you can file an issue and add an attachment.
Thanks a lot.

Is there a plan of creating a common service in future for remote server connection, like Eclipse RSE.
I think it may be provided the following feature.
1. Connection management in "Service" window. Should support ftp,ssh and secured style.
2. Create a single connection instance between remote folder and local NetBeans project.
3. Synchronization rule, automactically or by some actions(synchronized on save).
4. Can use diff tool to compare local and remote file.

This is goob, but what if I wont just edit one single line in one page on a remote server ?? I do not wont to download all files to do that =(
It's better use some ftp browser. Is it possible ?? Do you plan to do this in future??
Posted by YAAP on June 25, 2009 at 10:16 AM CEST #
I think that eclipse rse behaviour would be perfect too ...

"Not sure what you mean exactly; if one uses any VCS for his/her project then he/she probably doesn't need any FTP/SFTP... Of course, this is preferred and recommended."
Ok, if you develop pages locally. I need to send some pages to server to test them, there's no reason to commit them to vcs if they're not yet working. Upload on save is not always good, because I sometimes need to make operations on remote copy and not local, for time being I have to have open netbeans and ftp simultaneously.
