Live Php Editor

This Editer 🖊 is created with the help of java ☕. It presents the use of simple java IO ✍ to make some creative Apps. Basic understanding of java and javafx is enough to customize 🛠 this accourding to your needs.

Requirements

  • JDK 9 ☕ or any JDK with openfx lib (Some changes in import code section is needed in order to use openfx)
  • Php

Feature

  • Handle multiple 🔢 tab at a time
  • Very lightweight 🍃
  • Uses simple java IO ✍

Source code structure

./Editer.css
./PHPServer.java
./phpe2.png
...

Ignore any extra files in source code. Let's take a look att code.

  1. Editer.css - This defines css 🎨 for application. Javafx supports css integration in code this provides javafx an edge over other GUI tool such as Swing or AWT.
  2. PHPServer.java - This is main class to handle all action from taking input to rendering output and showing to the user.
  3. phpe2.png - It's only logo for application .

Working

So how all this works ? So answer is very simple, just using java IO ✍. There are mainly two componets in GUI of application.

  1. TextArea GUI components
  2. WebView GUI components

When user type Php code 👨‍💻 into TextArea the corresponding result is shown in the WebView components. Let's take a look at the process behind the the seen.

  1. The code written by the user is fetched by the application and written to a temporary php file 📝 after every keystroke.
  2. The generated temporary php file📝 then executed⚙ by the php program to generate equaivalent html code which is saved to another temporary html file📝.
  3. The generated temporary Html response file 📝 by php code is loaded into WebView.
  4. That's all 🎯.

Note:- If the local file 📝 is opend instead of creating new file then at the end when user press Ctrl+S or choose save from menu the current state of file in saved to opened local file. As it should be.

Ruuning Application

Just run ▶ the PHPServer.java as normal java program and You will be all set to use this lightweight app.

javac PHPServer.java
java PHPServer
