This week, I'll be sharing information about the upcoming VS.Php 2.5 release. The first feature I'll like to share is the support for new project types.
Here is a screenshot of the project types available in VS.Php 2.5:

These are the new project types:
- Php 5 web project - This is a local Php project with Php 5 as the platform for debugging. When using the preview engine, Php 5
will be used for debugging. XDebug is used by default. - Php 4 web project - Same as the previous one, only that Php 4 is used. Also DBG is used as the default debugging engine.
- Command line sciprt project - This project lets you create and debug command line Php scripts. The debugger will launch Php in command line mode and let you debug the script. It uses Php 5 and the script has to be executed locally (no remote deployment or debugging).
On the Php 5/4 web projects, we now automatically add an index.php page as well as set it as the start page automatically.
Also, on the new project in existing folder wizard, you can select which platform you would like to use. Also, if index.php is present, we set it up as the default start page so you can get debugging going faster.
You can give it a try by downloading the latest VS.Php 2.5 beta.
