PHP Help :
Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4/ Windows.
This extension installs the PHP Manual in CHM format with two options to use it:
The first one is a button installed in the "PHP" tab within the insertbar.
The second option is right-click your mouse button. In the contextual menu you will find:"PHP Function Reference...". Select it and the help will be opened.
In both cases, if you have previously selected a function name, the page where that function is explained will automatically be opened.
If your selection is not a function name, a prompt message will you inform about it and will ask if you still want to open the PHP Manual
Thanks to French site FlashXpress, there's also a tutorial about how this extension works in French
Current version 7.1.0 (updated April 21, 2009):
- Support for PHP 5 new Functions and fixed bug affecting location at 'Commands' Menu
- Bug Fixed: The icon is shown again in the insertbar (thanks to Mark Banks for noticing it)
-
New Feature: The command to install/Upgrade the chm file is launched automatically if there's no help file available (for example, the first time you run the extension).
- Version 7.0.0 is Windows Vista compatible: It will install the required files outside DW's install path and will use the user Configuration folder instead (avoiding restrictions to install/update the chm files)
- Version 7.1.0 fixes the hh.exe problem. However, you won't be able to upgrade the chm file included with the extension
