Netbeans, for example, indicates an error on the line when it does not contain a "dot and virtula", showing the reason for hovering over the line number.
But the atom does not,
I know what it's like, but I do not know how to install it on it.
How do and where do I find such an addon for this?
The name of utilities for syntax checking is linter . One of the most popular php linters for Atom is the linter-php and its installation can be done with the following command at your terminal:
apm install linter-php
There is also a gif demonstrating functionality on the plugin-base page.
The PHP Linter would be a good solution, but it was a temporary gambiarra. Thanks to Nuclide , a very active and powerful community adopted by Facebook, now what was just an editor, turned out to be a true IDE. The community was already crying out for it.
To make your Atom Editor turn into an official IDE, it's very easy. Come with me and follow the steps below:
Install the package atom-ide-ui Install your favorite language pack. In this case, PHP: ide-php I wrote an article doing a review and a cool comment from the Atom IDE tool. Access this link for more information .
