How do I get to see the output of a php compiler in notepad++ ? I see that there is a console output window in notepad++ but nothing gets displayed there.
In the console dialog, type cmd
to get the windows command prompt. Then, to execute a php file, type php -f /path/to/file.php
You can also run arbitrary php snippets using the syntax php -r 'echo phpversion();'
You may need to first navigate to the folder that contains the php executable.
To test for errors in a PHP file, open up nppexec dialog by pressing F6 and type in
"<full path to php.exe>" "-ln" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
save the new script and name it as you feel comfortable. You can assign a shortcut key to execute this script in
settings->Shortcut mapper->Plugin commands
once there, scroll down and search for the script you saved.
For even more convenience, press Shidt+F6
to bring up nppexec's line highlights. Put in %ABSFILE% on line %LINE%
and tick the checkbox to enable this filter. You will be able to click the error string to go straight to the line with the problem.
