PHP Syntax Checking in Notepad++

Question

is there a plugin for notepad++ that allows for files to be run through a compiler for simple syntax checking? such as to catch missing ; or or non-matching brace counts, etc.?

Answer 1

Not tested myself, but you should be able to do this with the Run Command (F5) and a windows binary of PHP.

The command you most likely would want is as follows:

cmd /K c:\path\to\php.exe -l $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

Answer 2

I don't think so. Use Netbeans PHP. It's great. I haven't looked back since I switched to it
