Great app, one problem

This is honestly one of the best iOS developing applications I have come across. I do have one problem however: how am I supposed to get files off of the app? The app gives a Zip button but no Share, and the remote file manager I have to pay for. I have rated this app one stars as it excludes from the free version a crucial part of the development process. Please fix this issue!

Fantastic for On-Call Developers!

I’m the Lead Developer for an aviation training company and I used to have to keep my MacBook Pro with me at all times in case I ever needed to fix a bug or make a programming change on short notice. This app lets me handle that from anywhere with just my iPhone, and it does so very well! Plus the ability to test my changes to the application using the built-in server is phenomenal! The only thing that would make it better would be integration with the iOS Files app so that I could easily access our repositories via Working Copy. Other than that, I’m thrilled!

Hello, Thank you very much for this credit. integration with iOS Files is added to my todo list and it should be available in next version. If you find any bug or issue in the app even if it's very small, please don't hesitate to contact me contact@phpwin.org. Regards. /Firas

Thank you for your review. Most features and functions in phpwin are added based on people's suggestions and requests. If you have suggestions and requests, please contact me with details. There's no need to add low rating based on a request.

Amazing

This is the most high-quality development tool on iOS. It has many features that make it useful for working on a website. No other programming app on iOS has this amount of quality. This is one of my favorite apps.

Suggestions:
-save phpmyadmin credentials
-split view support
-install custom extensions
-store all files on cloud storage
-create custom file templates
-run a server-based database
-have multiple saved ftp logins
-enable shell_exec()
-ability to automatically execute a php script at an interval
-ability to run php scripts from the command line
-view folder sizes

i might add more suggestions

Edit: I have now switched to Python and use PythonAnywhere. phpwin itself was awesome to use back when I used PHP

Thank you very much. I am following you.

I Love This App

The only thing I would like to change is that when holding down backspace it still only deletes one character at a time. If this was fixed then this app would be perfect!

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I will add this issue to my to-do list.

keyboard input issue

Response from developer

Hello, Chinese issue has been fixed.

Beta app for dev

Hi this is the best app by far, are you working on embed a mysql server?, that would make it the No 1 app in the store

Response from developer

Hello Juan, Thanks for your review. Yes, MySQL is in my to-do list, but it takes time to be done. Regards, Firas

Unparalleled Excellence!

This is the most complete tool of its kind and an outstanding example of excellence in iOS app development. It was clearly designed with a thorough understanding of how PHP code is created, integrated, and tested. Whether you are a beginner (in need of tutorials and extensive PHP documentation) or an experienced web developer (able to take advantage of access to scripts from user-created folders, ftp and phpMyAdmin for file management) you will not be disappointed in the performance of this app for developing PHP code. Its value as an armchair PHP testing and development tool is exponentially greater than the $3.99 cost of the paid upgrade which provides access to all of the functionality available. As a computer science professor and experienced Web developer (since 1998), I am rarely impressed with anything that costs only a few dollars. But this is a tool I use frequently and one I highly recommend for students and professionals alike. Purchase it before the price increases to what it is truly worth.

Thank you very much professor.

Almost completely perfect

I love the app. It’s by far the most useful for throwing up scripts and lets get a LOT done by scraping some data from time to time.

However, I just upgraded so I can start using the FTP feature and found that once I log into the server, instead of seeing the file hierarchy, instead I get a bad request showing me the hierarchy in a an alert dumping it in JSON format.

Any chance this can get fixed in the next update dev?

Response from developer

Hello, Can you please update your rating? phpwin supported FTP/SFTP/FTPS/iCloud long time ago. Thank you

Needs little improvement

As it stands it’s the best php/html editor have seen so far on iPhone but I wanted to add bootstrap and jquery to it which I couldn’t do and I saw an update informing of zip/unzip which I went for and it was not working

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your valuable feedback, can you please tell me which iOS version you have? and what happened when you tried to zip a file/folder? did you see any error?
