6.1 Introduction

The Roadsend Compiler Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the Roadsend Compiler for PHP. It offers:

The editor includes features such as syntax highlighting, auto indent, line numbering, multiple undo/redo, find, and search and replace.

The tagging system provides fast visual access to all of the constants, functions, and class methods and variables defined in your project, as well as a list of built in functions. It also provides auto-completion of class methods and properties, and parameter completion of functions and methods.

The project manager maintains project files, sets up compiler options, and handles building the project files into executables, libraries, or web applications.

The integrated step debugger allows you to step line by line through your source code. You can see the current list of local variables (with their values) and the call stack updated in real time. You can set breakpoints in your program which will pause the program on the specified line.

When you're ready to deploy, the project manager will help you package your finished product.
