Product Description:

The PHP Function Index (PHPfi) is a simple browser to quickly look up any PHP function. Its search offers realtime-filtering of the function list and its AppleScript interface lets you look up functions easily from within your favorite editor (like BBEdit or any other scriptable app).


To be as up-to-date as possible PHPfi uses the original documentation from php.net, parsing it, and displaying it in an intuitive and clearly arranged interface. It uses an offline version of the manual for optimum speed. PHPfi is free for academic and hobbyist users, but from professionals who earn their money with PHP coding I ask a small registration fee.

PHP Function Index ReviewNice, but not quite as good - Version: 2.1.1, 4/19/2007 03:21PM PST

This is a nice program, very well designed, but the search just isn't good enough. A search for a phrase will often return a list of possible functions if you don't find the right one, in this case you must know exactly the name of the function. The price is worth it, but search isn't going to cut it for me, so I'll stick with the website for now.

A very minor bug, if you select Window -> Comments Download, the request for you to register to update all comments doesn't come up, it only comes up when you click update all from the comments drop down.

I make a living off of PHP development and just registered for the business license. The one thing about this product that makes it more than worth it's money is the included Applescript that provides ability to highlight a PHP function in BBEdit and look up that function in PHP Function Index with a button click. I would typically perform a google search for the function and take the first hit which was almost invariably the entry for the function in one of the online PHP manuals. But sometimes it wasn't... Now, I just highlight the term in BBEdit, click alt-apple-. (period) and all related functions are listed in PHP Function Index. Thanks for this!

PHP Function Index ReviewIndespensable! - Version: 2.0, 2/28/2007 12:43PM PST

Perfect for quick lookups. It would be great if a bit more of the website could be incorporated - for example you won't find anything about $_SERVER here - but for fast function lookups this can't be beat. I use it every time I do anything significant with PHP.
