Petr Pisl is presently posting a PHP picture a day - how's that for alliteration. I like this one - place your cursor on the function keyword and all places where you return from the function are highlighted. I can imagine that being very useful...

Funny that I'm seeing so many of these. We will be providing this as part of the next release of NetBeans. We'll also be supporting export to XML, import from CSV and also import from another table.

I know there are other tools out there that do this as well. If it were me, I'd much rather have a tool like NetBeans do it than write a script like this...

Just posted on the NetBeans main page - Robin Schumacher is going to do a webinar focused on MySQL 5.1 benefits for OEMs and ISVs

People are always asking for this feature from NetBeans. We're working on it, but in the meantime, if you're using MySQL, here is some very simple code to export to CSV. Nice!

Roumen points us to a very interesting comment on the Zend forums My company bought 3 3-year licenses for Zend Studio earlier this and up until a few weeks ago, there was nothing else on the market that even came close to meeting our requirements. Then Netbeans released 6.5 with PHP support. Right out of the gate, their PHP and JavaScript support is on the whole, so much better and faster than Zend's product, with so many fewer bugs, that despite the fact that we spent $1000 this year investing in Zend's product ... I am assisting my team in migrating over to use Netbeans for most of our development. There are a few things that Studio does better, but Netbeans is just a much more mature and easy to use product, even this early in their PHP support

Hi all,

Today I'd like to continue a blog series in which I highlight Web application tutorials for NetBeans 6.5. A few changes have been made to tutorials, among which is the featuring of MySQL as the database of choice.

seventh entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Using Page Fragments".

In this tutorial, you use NetBeans IDE 6.5 to create an application that includes two JSF 1.2 (Woodstock) page fragment components. One fragment holds the application's logo. The second fragment holds links for navigating between the pages in the application.

A new look to a popular tutorial. Cheers!

Hi all,

Today I'd like to continue a blog series in which I highlight Web application tutorials for NetBeans 6.5. A few changes have been made to tutorials, among which is the featuring of MySQL as the database of choice.

This sixth entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Performing Inserts, Updates, and Deletes (CRUD)".

This tutorial shows you how to use NetBeans IDE 6.5 and JSF 1.2 (Woodstock) components to build a web application that can create, retrieve, update, and delete database rows. The application provides a drop-down list of master data along with a synchronized detail table. Users of the application can add to, update, and delete the records in the detail table and from its associated database.

Hi all,

Today I'd like to continue a blog series in which I highlight Web application tutorials for NetBeans 6.5. A few changes have been made to tutorials, among which is the featuring of MySQL as the database of choice.

This fifth entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Building a Tree From Database Data".

This tutorial shows you how to dynamically build a tree structure from data in a database. Using NetBeans IDE 6.5, you build a two-page application, the first page of which includes a JSF 1.2 (Woodstock) Tree component. You populate the first-level nodes in the Tree with names from a database, and the second-level nodes with the trips for that person. The trip nodes are links to a second page, which displays the details for that trip.

This fourth entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Using Databound Components to Access a Database".

In this tutorial, you use NetBeans IDE 6.5 to create and deploy a web application that displays master-detail data from a database that is packaged with the IDE. In the application, you select a person from a JSF 1.2 (Woodstock) drop-down list, and the application displays a table that shows all the trip records for that person.

This third entry in the series will cover the tutorial, "Developing a Visual Web JSF Application".

In this tutorial, you use the NetBeans IDE and JSF 1.2 (Woodstock) components to create and run a simple web application, Hello Web. The example application asks you to input a name and then displays a message that uses that name. At first, you implement this page with an input field. Then you replace the input field with a drop-down list from which the user can choose a name. The drop-down list is populated with names from a database table.
