For how long have you been working with PHP?

    I don’t think so lol 3.5.10 I use, but I’ve used plain old notepad and a real life notepad and pen to write and develop components before.  I would like some auto-complete features and maybe pick up on my doc block comments, but as a no frills editor it’s great, really love the FISH protocol support :D

    Yeah I do love the fish protocol, it has made my life much easier on many occasions 😊
    And you’ve used plain old notepad for coding? But it has nothing? No syntax highlighting, no auto indent, no code completeion, no multiple files in a single instance (need I go on?)

    Try Notepad++ ... Also if you like plain no nonsense editors, why not take a look at VIM ? I use Netbeans for PHP for the inline parser and debugger, but VIM is my swiss army knife. gedit is a good alternative for Notepad++ if you are on Linux.

    You mean u have started to code with PHP from day 1 as it was released in 1995? Now thats HC! 😊 How many functions it had those days? :D

    As everyone else has put up some personal history, so will I:
    Started with VIC-20 in 1986-87(Basic ofcourse as it came with every computer those days 😊 ).. Funky soundchip, POKEd a lot with it and got some interesting sounds with it.
    After a while got Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48, upgared to 48+. Coded lots of nice progs with it: paint program, digitizer, couple of games. Damn it was fast to code when you knew every key/shortcut in the keyboard(every key had many functions)!

    Commodore Amiga came in to picture around 1989-90 and has never left my heart since as I’m still a fan and got lots of great friends from Amiga-scene. Very productive time with it: graphics, music, programming etc. I did my first ever webpage(my portfolio) with Amiga somewhere in 1999(HTML only with lots of graphics made during years). Got a job with that crappy portfolio and started to make websites/designs and gradually moving to PHP coding in 2001.

    So 8 years and counting with PHP! I almost moved away from PHP about 2 years ago(fell in love with Django+Python and seriously thought about going Django/Python only). Fortunaly I bumped into Code Igniter which really opened my eyes and inspired me to continue using PHP and got the joy back in (PHP)coding.

    Actually I got started when it was PHP/FI when I first started poking at what is now PHP.

    As for personal computer related history;

    My first computer was a TRS-80 Model III with 4 360k floppy drives and we used LDOS, I wrote a BBS in basic and a serial driver in assembler and started the first incarnation of Above Board BBS, which progressed and moved to the x86 world on a Tandy 1000, and subsequent home built 286.

    It grew into a multi-line bbs, part of what was called Fidonet, which I operated until around 1996.

    In the late 80’s I got a job working for a local Computerland as tech support, there I received training from IBM, Novell, Compaq and others, after that an independent Computer Consultant specializing in Novel networking and multiuser Clipper DBMS developer.

    I wanted to work more from home and as a quadriplegic since 1976, the whole traveling around to clients thing was taking it’s toll, in 1994 a friend an I decided to start an ISP, so we began Access Unlimited of Venice that launched in 1995, which we sold in 2005.

    Our first website was on NCSA HTTPd however we quickly moved to Apache, and soon after exploring Perl and PHP/FI.

    PHP won.

    P.S. Proud user of Linux since 1994 😊
