I tried the demo of VS.Php and really liked it...Of all the editors I've tried, it was my favorite. It had a couple of bugs that stopped me from making the purchase though. In one case, typing "->" after a certain variable in my code would close visual studio altogether, with no error message, exception or anything :-) Also I found that working with folders within projects didn't work as I expected, although I think that may be a vs bug more than the plug-in. And, obviously, at the time it lacked the type inference capability I was seeking. But I thought that it's handling of "references" and includes was better than anything else on the market, which makes it a very strong contender. I am primarily a .NET programmer, so the VS requirement is a plus in my book.
That array business looks pretty good...But I'm still not convinced it's as powerful as I'm looking for.
The first concern is that usually you fill arrays using variables, not explicit indexes. So will it make the assumption that the array values are all of the same type when it can't figure out an index? IMHO, that would be the way to go.
Thanks!
