It gives the error "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters." When I checked in the CI forums, it seems (unless I missed something) that the debugger in eclipse just doesn't work with CI - see http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/59359/. It seems that someone did get it working, but I hate it when you have to fight everything to get something working. So may just stick to echo statements for debugging. Shame.

I had no trouble installing. Just downloaded and unzipped the Zend Eclipse PDT package, and clicked on the eclipse executable, and as long as your Java RTE is up to date, it should run without a hitch. Once I was happy it ran, I just created a link to the executable from my desktop. I don't have Vista, assuming they (MS) haven't broken your Java environment, you should be OK running your local host using XAMPP or WAMP or similar.

Does Zend Eclipse PDT work with Apache? Does the installation change or interfere with the existing Apache or PHP installation? I am uneasy about any Zend application after yesterday. Zend Studio left me with a mess to clear up. Suddenly local web pages wouldn't run on the PC, and http://localhost was resolving to www.localhost.com. Then apache failed due to some port conflict. I de-installed Zend Studio and re-installed apache as I couldn't fix it otherwise. Are you on Windows - I am working off a Vista laptop. Hi Brian

They do an all in one packaged download which includes debugger. I also have added Aptana as an Eclipse plugin for working on HTML,JS and CSS. I have also used EasyEclipse Aptana plugin and that works fine too.

I just tried installing Zend Studio as an IDE for CodeIgniter and it was a disaster! Apache died and needed re-installation to get it back. What do you use as an IDE I wonder? I really wanted to try something with a debugger, but I have no idea what will install and run easily on Windows. Hi Brian

I am in the same position you are. For me it's been a real struggles to pickup OOP and MVC, it didn't help that if I had any code breaking, I was not experienced enough to tell if it was me or my PHP5 XAMPP environment. SO I played around with Zend Framework, which has just been realeased in it 1.5 version recently, completely PHP5. Even though this framework is from the creators of PHP and has a huge following, I think you need to have strong OOP/MVC, get into it. So I'm sticking with CodeIgniter. The guys on the CI forums assured me my PHP5 XAMPP setup would be OK with CI, given it's base code is PHP4. I found the documentation excellent, minus some oddities and typos, and the the people on the CI forums, are quite helpful. CI is an 'easy' framework to get into, so your focus should initially be on learning regular OOP coding and the mvc pattern. Good luck. Hi Liz. I am in the same position you are.

It is only shortage of time that prevents me from making faster progress. Client work has to come first. Anyway thanks for the offer of help . . . I just visited your web site and read your profile.
