Real-time syntax check

VS.Php provides real time synax check for Php code. As you type your code, VS.Php will mark areas in the code that have errors or warnings. This helps you find problems in your code before trying to execute the code. VS.Php also will attemp to tell you what the error is and a suggestion on how to fix it. This will eliminate some of the guesswork in fixing the syntax error. It can be quite useful for newbies but useful for experts as well.

The following shows three aspects of this feature. First note the red wiggle where the error is located. Also note that you can put the cursor on top of the wiggle to get a description of the error. Finally, the task window below shows all the error and warnings in the code.

Detecting errors with including files

When you include a file in your script, VS.Php will try to locate the file to add its code into intellisense. If VS.Php can not find the file, it will generate a warning. The file name in the require or include statement will display a red wiggle. As with syntax errors you can place the cursor on top of the warning to see a description of it.
