Where can I find a PHP Tag File for SlickEdit?

Question

I'm trying out SlickEdit and it says it can use a "tag file" for PHP. Does anyone know where I can find this tag file?

Answer 1

Tag files are basically an index of names in your code project that are spread across files. This can be used for jumping between files and auto-completion. Some relevant information about the concept is here on Wikipedia: Ctags.

As for creating it in SlickEdit, check the section "Building and Managing Tag Files" in the help. You should be able to use the Tools -> Tag Files dialog to add files that you want to index.

Answer 2

According to "SlickEdit 2008 - Languages Supported," SlickEdit already supports PHP, out of the box. When you install it, no tag file is included? It looks like it should already exist.

Answer 3

It supports the ability to create a tag file on PHP source code. You still need to point it in the direction of the PHP source code.

To create these tag files, go Tools | Tag Files... | Add Tag File...

Select PHP and then add the directories containing your source code.
