My wishlist
I know this has been mentioned, but I wanted to say again that I think the auto-indent/auto-format feature is extremely helpful, but flawed. I generally like to have my code formatted as follows:
<?php
if (1)
{
print "hello";
die;
}
?>However, with vs.php, as soon as I close the brace }, it becomes:
<?php
if (1)
{
print "hello";
die;
}
?>I would suggest a "Default Indention Value" in options. Where right now, by default, it would be "0", but I would change it to "1". I think I read someone suggest that you base the placement of the close brace on where the open brace sits, but then you would lose out on the auto-format feature. Additionally, the auto-format feature leaves a ton of needless tabs (or spaces) on empty lines. I'm pretty anal about my code, so you can see how these two things are extremely annoying for me.
Another thing is that I write C# by day and PHP by night. Something small, but helpful when managing a C# project is that I can drag and drop files around in the Solution Explorer. A PHP project under VS2008 doesn't allow me to do this.
The last issue is that I have an .htaccess file in the root of my project. When I go to deploy my application, I get "Error 1 File .htaccess not found" in my Error List on deployment. I assume because of the "." at the beginning of the filename.
Thanks for your consideration.


These are all good
These are all good suggestions. I'll take a look...
Thanks,
I agree
I also like to use the BSD/Allman style of indentation as illustrated by langdon. Better support for this would make me quite happy!
Also some enhancements to the Solution Explorer would be nice. There is a bug that wont let me delete a folder in a remote project. ("No such file [...] code=2"). Drag/drop functionality would be very, very useful to me too.
Keep up the excellent work. So far 2.5 is looking great!
