PHP 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 support

[profhun]

Hi!

The current latest supported php version is 5.4.
When came the newest version's support? Or allow the eclipse original codes, what can handle this.

regards!

Looks like Aptana is abandonware. Time to look elsewhere unfortunately

Aptana continues to be developed for core JavaScript functionality, however, it is unlikely that we will be updating PHP support in the future.

@ingo This is a bad notice. In my opinion aptana is a big IDE( in fact my prefer IDE) and I use for everything. But recently I had need to find others IDEs because the current php and es6 sintax are no currently support and I think that you're not maintaining it anymore.

HUGE ERROR not updating PHP version support!
How can you not be aware of the major differences between 5.4 and 5.6, 7.0 & 7.1??
Those differences are as big as to make some functions coded for 5.4 FAIL when they are uploaded to 7.0 Server!
Many hosting companies are discontinuing 5.4!
The servers are forcing users to 7.0 as the new Default Standard OR to 5.6

On one of my hosting servers PHP 5.5 is the lowest default standard.
If I switch to PHP 7 then certain functions stop working, causing a complete page fail or site fail.

Since PHP/MySQL on Linux or Ubunto is the most common package it is essential to make sure an IDE knows how to evaluate PHP code in the 5.6 to 7.1 environments!

How can you STOP at PHP 5.4?
Support for it STOPPED in September 2015! Too many important operating changes since.

In December of 2015 PHP 7 was introduced with milestone advances! Differences that can Totally Shut Down the operation of PHP pages that have no errors if evaluated as PHP 5.4!

Please drag your heads out of "core JavaScript" functionality long enough to realize how CRUCIAL your product's application is affected by jumping off the PHP version train!!

Totally agree with @thunderpoet here. Not maintaining compatibility with php 5.6+ is akin to saying "We're sticking with Vista". So much of what I deploy and work with now lists 5.6 as the minimum now and most of our projects are jumping straight to 7. I've moved on now, I'm using Ecplise and will not be returning to Aptana. Why would I want multiple IDEs?

@Thunderpoet it's not a question of desire. It's a question of resources. Aptana is open source and free. We do not have the resources to devote to PHP. We would be more than happy for someone to take over the development of the PHP aspect and extend it to 7, but it is not something we can fund.

[bigdogdman]

@ingo Okay, say someone were interested in assisting in this endeavor; what would they need to do/know in order to help? And, what other aspects of PHP syntax support are there in Aptana that would need to be added to the engine, beyond the basic text parsing/GUI support?

Hi guys, any news about Aptana PHP support? Which is the last supported version?
Thanks a lot

Solution is:
use VSCode.
fast, easy to use, up-to-date

Hi @profhun , I'm an happyt Netbeans user, just looking for an alternative. Is VSCode a valid product? Does it implement funcionality like PSR-2 auto formatting or click and jump to function definition?

It's fun (or sad, depending on your point of view) to discuss about other IDE's on Aptana issue tracker...

[profhun]

with plugins, yes:

Wow, it looks intresting. Thanks for the hint, I will test it.
