php anywhere – a free online php editor

November 9th, 2008 - Backend, PHP Tools - 4 Comments

I was looking for an online php editor the other day and i found php anywhere. While most of the time i carry my laptop or even my usb stick with a good list of portable software, there are times especially at clients’ offices or something that i need to make a minor change to a php file and all i need is an ftp client and an editor. Notepad is fine and basic ftp functionality can be achieved through command line but with php anywhere it just makes more sense.

php anywhere is based on the EXT JS platform and provides a nice set of features. First of all you can connect to your servers and get a tree view of your files. While this is actually an editor, a feature of changing file permissions is not present and that could be a nice feature to have. The editor by it’s self is nice and simple, no indentation though (come on guys, we all use the tab button for this, do something) and a really useful feature for me at least is the encoding option that let’s me change the encoding of a file.

php anywhere requires a very simple registration and after activation through an email you can get up and running in seconds.
