Python and PHP are programming languages. That interactive environment your referring (IDLE) to is a tool separate from the programming language that just happens to be distributed with the windows version of the installation package. It's not part of Python. I think that the features in IDLE are probably duplicated by several different PHP IDEs. There are probably several alternatives to IDLE available. There might even be an IDE that does code testing and debugging for both languages better than IDLE does. I'm sorry I can't provide more specific examples. I've found that Vim suits me better in the development environment than any IDE. -- Vince Aggrippino Ghodmode Development http://www.ghodmode.com > -- > end > > Very Truly yours, > - Kirk Bailey, > Largo Florida > > kniht > +-----+ > | BOX | > +-----+ > think -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
