Well, first of all this dot article caught me a bit by surprise since I thought
I had been using Quanta 3 final for the past 15 days or so
(with KDE 3.1 CVS, as a matter of fact).
Any bugfixes I should know about?

Anyway, I want to say a big thanks to the Quanta developers. I am currently
using Quanta for my (very first) professional PHP project, and I am
very happy with it. Esp. since I am not very familiar with PHP, Quanta's
ability to complete my code is a real life(and Coca Cola)-saver.

I am also very impressed by Quanta's ability to "detect" html tags
*within* PHP strings and code-complete them too! And project management,
and web download/upload of the project (to name only a few)...
how did you manage to put so much *useful* functionality on a single product? I really am impressed :-)

Amazing piece of work guys! I thought Eric was exaggerating when he
was writing "we will get better than DreamWeaver", but it turns out he knew what he was talking about :-)

BTW I would really like to donate money (because I'm *earning* money
thanks to Quanta), but unfortunately I don't have a credit card
(and don't think I *will* have in the forseable future).
Aren't there any other ways?

Actually I'm terribly emberassed because I have been so busy I have not put up new PHP docs. You can download the docs (which I will put up today) and install them in Quanta. This will give you context help. You will also have off line help with your PHP.

Since you're new to PHP let me introduce you to some other cool features you may not know about. I created a sites directory in my server root on my local system with my user as owner. I then linked it to my home directory. Now my PHP files are actually on a live server. Now in the project settings on the Network tab you can click the box "Use project prefix" and enter your location like so... http://localhost/sites/kittyhooch/public_html/. Now when you preview a dynamic page in Quanta you will see your PHP rendered correctly. Now to sort it out select the structure tree tab on the left, right click and select Parse as->PHP. Now you will see your functions and variables listed on the left. We still have work to do like parse off page, respect scope and add classes but we're working on it as fast as we can. ;-) BTW you can add dialogs to PHP tags using tagxml described in our docs in the PHP tag files. However with the introduction of Kommander next week you will be able to draw dialogs for very custom use and include them on project toolbars. Look for the demo soon.

As for your compliments... they are very satisfying. Thank you. Knowing that we are helping you to deveolop and to earn money with Quanta is the most rewarding currency for me... though I will still accept donations. ;-) If you are in a country where PayPal is available they do a bank transfer so you do not actually need a credit card. Also many banks offer debit cards that function as credit cards too. If you do not have these options and still feel compelled to donate please contact me directly to look for a means.

BTW check out our links for good resources on PHP. I wish you much success and satisfaction in your web development efforts. I hope we play some small part in your success.
