Jcx.Software today announced the immediate availability of VS.Php version 2.0. This release focused on supporting the new Visual Studio 2005. VS.Php users that are planning to upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 should upgrade to 2.0.

This release includes the first integrated Smarty/Php editor with intellisense and many other rich editing features provided in Visual Studio. Developers also get Php and HTML intellisense in Smarty files.

Another key aspect of this release is the integration with the help system and the Php documentation. With VS.Php 2.0 you can click F1 on any Php function and quickly get information about it. It also supports dynamic help which lists related help links to the current context of where you are in the code. VS.Php includes integrated documentation for Php, PEAR and Smarty.

This release also improves intellisense support by enabling access to arrays and array entries. VS.Php understands arrays and values set to array entries. It allows you to work more effectively with arrays by providing rich intellisense support even on multidimensional arrays.
