PHP and TextMate – article for the german PHPMag
PHP-Magazin 4.07 - PHP und TextMate
It’s been a while since my last article but finally I had some time and managed to write for the german PHP-Magazin, again. To my surprise my article was even chosen as cover-topic. Yippieh! I wrote about PHP- and web-development on Mac OS X using TextMate.

TextMate brings Apple’s approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike. (macromates.com)
Description. TextMate is a very popular editor these days and not without reason! I used the first part of the article to introduce the reader to the command-line abilities and the main editing features. The second part covers the bundle-concept. Here I introduced the PHP-bundle and explained how to use TextMate as a powerful PHP-editor.
If you are a subscriber of the PHP-Magazin go out and look at your mailbox! My issue arrived today. If you aren’t you will have to wait until May 16th, till the magazin hits the shelves.

Hi there,
I’m the author of the TextMate PHP bundle, and I’m curious what topics you covered in the PHP-specific part of the article. Could you give a brief list of the items you went over?
Thanks,
Ciarán Walsh
Hi Ciarán!
Here’s a brief overview of what I wrote about:
– PHP bundle is needed and responsible for PHP syntax-highlighting
– Parsing and executing php-files from TextMate
– PHP-function completion and usage of different help shortcuts (help as tooltip or jump to PHP manual)
– Special highlights: Displaying and jumping to included files and also usage of the phperr tab-trigger to supplement php error-messages with a link to the file/line that opens in TextMate
Great bundle!
