What PHP Studio is

PHP Studio is a browser-based PHP editor that can be hosted on a system and opened from other computers on the same setup. Its maker describes using one system as a server so PHP can be run from 50 lab systems without installing PHP on each one. The project is written in PHP and jQuery, and its listed dependencies are jQuery, CodeMirror and jQuery contextMenu. The repository includes login, logout and registration files, an adminview.php file, and a SQL file that the setup instructions say to import into a database. The README identifies an “Admin View” and gives the project version as 1.1.1. To deploy PHP Studio, the instructions call for configuring a web server, cloning the project into its web directory, importing the SQL file, editing connection.php and opening the site in a browser. It is free and distributed under the MIT License. The README credits S. Vijay as developer, and the maker invites contributions. The license provides the software as-is and disclaims warranties and liability.
