Here
are some useful PHP tools for web development, including PHP development
framework, PHP code generator, debugging tools, graphic processing tools, code
optimization tools, PHP editors, IDE, etc.
VS.Php is a PHP IDE (integrated development
environment) based on Visual Studio IDE. With VS.Php you can design, develop,
debug and deploy PHP applications within the Visual Studio IDE. VS.Php key
features are around providing rich PHP editor as well as Smarty editing
capabilities. Also is the ability to debug PHP scripts locally as well as
remotely.
PHPScriptGen
is a powerful online tool that can automatically generates fully functional
codes for your PHP/MySQL applications. You can create completed CRUD (Create,
Retrieve Update and Delete) scripts within ten minutes. Thus it can save you a
lot of time wasted on repetitive coding. The generated codes can be easily
understood and further customized. It is designed for both beginners and
veteran programmers. This amazing tool is completely FREE for both commercial
and non-commercial use.
Smarty
is a web template system written in PHP. It is intended to simplify
compartmentalization, allowing the presentation of a web page to change
separately from the back-end. Ideally, this eases the costs and efforts associated
with software maintenance. Smarty generates web content by the placement of
special Smarty tags within a document. These tags are processed and substituted
with other code. Tags are directives for Smarty that are enclosed by template
delimiters. These directives can be variables, denoted by a dollar sign ($),
functions, logical or loop statements. Smarty allows PHP programmers to define
custom functions that can be accessed using Smarty tags.
Xdebug is a PHP extension which provides
debugging and profiling capabilities. It uses the DBGp debugging protocol. The
debug information that Xdebug can provide includes the following: stack and
function traces in error messages with: full parameter display for user defined
functions, function name, file name and line indications, support for member
functions, memory allocation, protection for infinite recursions. Xdebug also
provides: profiling information for PHP scripts, code coverage analysis, capabilities
to debug your scripts interactively with a debugger front-end. Xdebug is also
available via the PECL library.
Scavenger
is an open source real-time vulnerability management tool. It helps system
administrators respond to vulnerability findings, track vulnerability findings,
review accepted or false-positive answered vulnerabilities, and not 'nag'
system administrators with old vulnerabilities. At this time, Scavenger parses
the results from a Nessus scan and stores them in a MySQL database. From that
point, a user can login to a web interface and answer a vulnerability as
'addressed', 'accept', or 'false-positive'. If an administrator answers accept
or false-positive, Scavenger will not insert a new vulnerability again.
However, if a user marks a vulnerability as 'addressed' and it comes up again
in a scan, it will insert a new vulnerability into the database.
