DS PHP Edit

A Self-Hosted, AI-Powered PHP IDE

DS PHP Edit provides a professional development environment for PHP developers who value privacy and local control. It is a web-based IDE that allows you to edit, preview, and manage your PHP projects entirely on your own machine without relying on external CDNs or cloud services.

Core Features

• Full Editor Experience: Powered by Ace, featuring syntax highlighting for PHP, HTML, JS, CSS, JSON, and Markdown. Includes line numbers, multi-file tabs with persisted UI state, and dirty-state tracking.
• DeepSeek V4 AI Integration: Get Copilot-style inline ghost-text suggestions, explain complex code blocks, perform full file rewrites, or apply surgical patches using DeepSeek V4 Flash or Pro models.
• Real Server-Side Preview: Unlike static playgrounds, DS PHP Edit runs your saved PHP natively through the web server. You see real output including headers, sessions, and errors exactly as they would appear in production.

• Local Media Library: Upload images, PDFs, audio, and video files with automatic thumbnail generation and snippet insertion at the cursor.
bsp;
• Backup & History: One-click ZIP backups for your project and persistent conversation history that is browsable and reloadable.

How It Works

1. Drop Project Folder: Place your PHP project into the working_folder/ directory.
2. Open File: Open any file from the tree-scoped explorer to begin editing.

3. AI Assistance: Use the AI assistant to explain, rewrite, or patch code while receiving real-time suggestions.
bsp;
4. Preview: Hit the preview button to execute your PHP server-side and see the rendered result in a same-origin iframe.
bsp;
5. Repeat: Iterate quickly between editing and live previewing.

Security & Privacy

pDS PHP Edit is built with a "stubbornly local" philosophy. It uses no CDN, has no telemetry, and requires no build step. Every asset is served locally from your machine. For security, it is designed for single-trusted operators bound to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Because the tool executes arbitrary PHP by design, it must never be exposed to a public server or shared host.
