What is recommended for a good free IDE for PHP and Javascript together?

i use PhpStorm at work. For free i would use vscode.

notepad++ was my best friend -lol- with no debuggers, and you'd use some scp to ftp upload the php and test in internet explorer in its crashing days - now that was a real environment, no cloud no nutt'n like dat man ?

nowadays u even got online PHP compilers -dam-

anyway, try the Netbeans.org editor, some of my ex-cos swore on this editor, this editor has support for various languages including syntax highlighting 'Uuuuuu' - not just green on black, dude, it's gotta be some' right…

All the best man ? all the best

Seconded. I use vscode for most of what I'm doing, be it at work or at home. It's great to have something you make in typescript in one folder, the php in another, and having it just run from the same ide+workspace. I love being able to just put a breakpoint anywhere and have the corresponding debug session stop there, be it on client or server. Can strongly recommend this.

I'm not understanding how to debug both javascript and php with visual code. I have source code with both of them on the same page.

Do you have the PHP debugger extension installed (felixfbecker.php-debug)? And the “Debugger for Chrome” (msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome)?

Their documentation and launch config templates allow you to launch each separately - then you can switch between them in the debug bar that appears.

So, either one or the other is run at a time?

No, either one or the other is started at a time, but they can both be run in parallel.

Actually, you can just as well configure a launch option to launch/watch both at once if you like.

Is there any simple information on this, I've been researching for a while.
