"As a web developer who spends 50% of his time re-writing and cleaning up old
poorly written HTML and adding CSS and the other 50% of his time neck
deep in osCommerce, I went on a two week hunt to download every
PHP/HTML/CSS tool I could find. In the mix of programs I tested Rapid PHP
easily separated itself form the pack. There were plenty of programs
that had 85% of the features I wanted and needed but Rapid PHP was
everything. So I sent a bug report to the dev team (as I had done with
many of the programs I tried). The team at Blumentals responded the next
day. I was blown away. There are thousands of things that I'd love to
say about how valuable Rapid PHP is. Suffice it to say that this is the
best program I've found and the only one I want to use. With a solid
program and a ready-to-help development team Rapid PHP is worth twice what
Blumentals is asking."
Jon Henderson, Web Developer, Ecreativeworks, Inc.
"This is one powerful, all-inclusive editor. Whether you only create PHP
files, or use a wide variety of scripting languages (such as (X)HTML and CSS),
Rapid PHP will fulfill most, if not all, of your needs."
Lee Underwood, Associate Editor, Web Reference
"I just wanted to thank you for making Rapid PHP such an amazingly useful and
well thought out program! - The features, the layout and just everything
about it are so useful for a web-developer such as myself! I much prefer "hand coding"
to using software like Dreamweaver® etc., and this makes my job so
much easier! With features such as spell checking, syntax highlighting and
error checking, this has saved me hours of development time, over when
I used to simply do it in Notepad! Many Thanks for making Rapid PHP such a
great program! Keep up the good work!"
Ben Thomas, Director, BTCentral Ltd.
"I truly wish I had found Rapid PHP editor sooner. As Lead developer for
DWB Jemlinsoft, I code, modify code, embed code, eat, sleep and dream "code".
I have bought and used many popular code editors and have not found them
lacking in capabilities in one area or another. Projects that I work with
often require switching between multiple applications to complete. Coders will
agree that this is often cumbersome. With its' integrated CSS, HTML, JavaScript
editors, and preview window, Rapid PHP eliminates the need to switch between
applications, and allows me to code, validate, preview and save directly to
my servers in one full sweep. Editing has never been easier! Rapid PHP is
exactly what I want as a coder."
Thank you Mr. Blumentals for creating a "Ground Breaking" and
affordable development tool that I will use for years to come. I give your
Rapid PHP editing software my highest regard and recommendation!"
JT Jones, Lead Developer, DWB Jemlinsoft LLC
"I just wanted to say that knowing how amazing Rapid PHP is, I was totally
stoked to see that you had made a new version. I was then absolutely floored
when I saw what you had included in the new version. This is really setting
a new standard in PHP development. Your programs work at my pace and I never
have problems with them. I never find Rapid PHP to be hogging memory or slowing
down due to background processes. Thanks heaps for listening to your
customers. This is what makes you guys the real deal. I just wanted to say
a big thank you for your products. I'm onboard."
Murray Chapman, Freelance Multimedia / Web Developer
"I would like to thank you for your great program Rapid PHP.
We use Rapid PHP on a daily basis and it is a real time-saver,
great tool."
Femi, Vision.To Design, Sweden
"I'm really blown away with this software, and the service I have received
from Blumentals. Having the preview pane, the code snippet library, the
variable selection, the much faster code explorer, and the fixes to some
minor niggles in the old version, I've doubled my productivity over the
IDE I used to use. It lets me focus entirely on the coding."
Paul Hanlon
"I'm a self-employed Web Developer working on different projects. Currently
I'm working togehter in a team for a swapping platform called Hitflip. The
people I'm working with are using the Rapid PHP Editor. I tried it too and must
say that it is one of the best editors I ever used. Many thanks from Germany!"
Karsten Tralst, Hitflip Media Trading GmbH
"I've been using Rapid PHP to develop W3C standards compliant XHTML and CSS
web applications in PHP/MySQL since 2005. Rapid PHP has the essential find
and replace in files tool I so loved in TextPad and the new Code Explorer
makes PHP coding [life] so much easier. The integrated CSS and HTML
validation tools are awesome. The best I have used anywhere. The CSS
Auto Complete is amazing. I liked Maguma Open Studio and PHP Designer
until I used Rapid PHP 2008. Rapid PHP is a better text editor then
TextPad, the perfect CSS editor and my favorite PHP IDE ever!"
Keith Spiller, HOSTHIVE
"I spent over half of my professional life as a classical composer, and I
prize simplicity and elegance in programming too. Karlis Blumental's PHP
Editor (like his HTMLPad ) is a small masterpiece of straightforward, helpful
design. It is actually pretty full-featured too - particularly good at
previewing what you code. I struggled with PHP for months using a text-editor
only and recently put all my old source into a Rapid PHP project. Within
five minutes I was going at eight-times the speed, and enjoying it more.
My Websites so far are for are family and friends - but I certainly plan
to do a serious Intraweb design with this product."
Gordon Crosse, Classical Composer and Programmer, author of www.jaycoats.co.uk
"There is simply not enough good words to describe what this program has
done for my PHP development needs. Karlis Blumentals has proven beyond
any reasonable doubt that he holds the consumers best interest and make
us his TOP priority, not his pocket book. The way that you have integrated
all of your users requests and comments is absolutely astonishing. Since
using Rapid PHP, I have been more productive and development has been fun."
Ben Wasley, Ben W Consulting LLC
"Wow! Thank you so much for developing this marvelous editor. I've been a software engineer
for more than 20 years and have never had anything so great to work with,
I use Rapid PHP 99% of the time now. I also love the CSS editor, which
I just discovered, well worth the price, kudos to the developer, everything
I ever needed in a programming editor is in this program."
Stephen Rivera, President, LogoGraphica Consulting, Inc.
"I just had to write you again to say WOW! I've been using it for a week now.
It's fantastic and I still haven't used all of its functionality.
You should charge more for it. Its one of the best development tools I have
ever used and I've been in the IT field for over 28 years.
Started on mainframes and moved to PC/UNIX platforms about
8 years ago. Keep up the great work."
Doug Stehr, IT Technical Consultant for a major truck manufacture
"I started developing software in the late 80’s and a while ago I started
developing php applications. I’ve used several tools to write the code,
but Rapid PHP beats them all. Even the extreme expensive tools lost
the battle! This is one of the most intuitive php coders I’ve ever used.
The one thing I love the most about Rapid PHP is not only that it’s
a complete environment but also that I can load several sources (classes)
and get an overview of all the class members in an instant.
Buying Rapid PHP is the best investment I’ve did this year already."
Johan Myny, Belgium
"I just wanted to congratulate you on your first-class product - Rapid PHP.
I and my coding partner have been die-hard Dreamweaver users for many years now.
After evaluating Rapid PHP for a very short while, it was plainly evident that
this was the software that could entice us away. (All others have failed in
one small part or another.) FTP works brilliantly, code coloring is perfect,
project management - superb. All in all, a must-have PHP Developer IDE."
Maz Young, Owner and Administrator, StudioX Designs
"I am finding that your Rapid PHP 2008 is so useful that I have stopped
using Dreamweaver completely. Your program is much better! Also, your software
costs only a fraction of the coat of Dreamweaver. Blumentals software is well
worth every cent. I will certainly be buying all future upgrades when they
are available. Thank you for making such great software."
Al Woods, Netherlands
"Among the many things I like about Rapid PHP 2005 is that the Find and Replace
functions do everything one wants them to do, and efficiently. The multi-line
option is an unexpected and welcome bonus. This software has many advanced
features but even if one uses only the basic functions it is a delight to use.
It does not get in the way and enables one to do what one wishes to do with a
minimum of effort. The toolbars contain icons for many useful things such as
inserting the PHP output tag (<?= ?>) and the toolbars are easily turned on,
turned off and customized (it's even possible to move icons from any dropdown
menu to any preferred toolbar). The automatic display of a PHP function's
argument list is very helpful, and also the fact that pressing F1 when the
cursor is over a function name takes one to the online manual page for that
function. I recommend this software for anyone writing PHP programs."
Peter Meyer, Hermetic Systems
"This program is brilliant, and costs so little. I tried using Dreamweaver®
to code PHP, but soon became bored of the long load times, not to mention the
high price tag. I started looking for an alternative, and found Rapid PHP.
I haven't looked back, and am very pleased with it. It has every feature
I have been looking for."
Tom Beynon, Web Developer, United Kingdom
"Rapid PHP is a great product, for me it is the best PHP editor on the net."
