It includes a real-time syntax code editor with support for all web formats and a powerful FTP editor.
Because it works in a browser you can start coding right away, no need for installing anything and best of all you can work from anywhere, all you need is an internet connection and a web browser and you’re ready to go.
You can develop and maintain multiple projects with ease using PHPanywhere, because as soon as you log in all your projects (FTP servers) are immediately accessible. PHPanywhere even remembers what files you were working on and reopens them as well.
Real-time syntax code editor
The real-time syntax code editor is really what PHPanywhere is all about, so here is a list of just some of the things it does:
- Syntax highlighting
- Smart indentation for each language

Work without restrictions
PHPanywhere doesn’t install anything on your computer, so you can use it without asking your IT administrator for permission. Also since it isn’t on your computer, it works even if your corporate firewall is blocking the FTP port.
Share your work
Because all your projects are on our servers you can easily allow others to work on your project, without duplicating you files. Also PHPanywhere enables real-time document collaboration (**) which makes it the ideal work environment.
