Online PHP Editor

Write, refactor, and download PHP source in the browser with completions, find, and format helpers.

Need custom conversion?

Completions appear as you type; press Ctrl+Space to open the list. Tab expands snippets where available. Find: Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac). Format: toolbar button or Ctrl+Shift+B for supported languages.

Choose editor font size in pixels

Write, refactor, and download PHP source in the browser with completions, find, and format helpers.

Paste a snippet, edit with highlighting, then download—prefer your IDE for large projects and debugging.

Focused PHP drafting and review when a full project window is more than you need.

Keep PHP snippets focused: one function or script path per sample, named clearly, with a short comment for inputs and outputs.

Handle errors you would show in a tutorial—happy-path-only demos hide the hard parts. Avoid hard-coded secrets; use placeholders.

Note the language edition or compiler flags when syntax depends on them (modules, null safety, async). That saves “works on my machine” threads.

Format before sharing. Download and run under your local runtime or test suite rather than trusting a browser buffer as source of truth.

Stable link for this mode: /code-editor/php

Open this PHP editor, paste or type in the Ace buffer, use find/replace and theme/font controls, then download when ready. Theme choices may stick in local storage on this device—it is not a cloud project.

Editing stays in your browser for normal use (no account required). Do not paste production secrets; save important work to your own repo or encrypted store.

Copy a starter into the editor, rename symbols to match your project, then download. These are teaching/review snippets—not a full app scaffold.

Typed function

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

function slugify(string $value): string {
    $v = strtolower(trim($value));
    return preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]+/', '-', $v) ?? '';
}

Module export

// PHP
export function normalize(rows) {
  return rows.map((r) => ({ id: String(r.id), ok: Boolean(r.ok) }));
}

Async I/O

async function readConfig(path) {
  const raw = await readFile(path, 'utf8');
  return JSON.parse(raw);
}

Common PHP patterns for variables, control flow, and comments. Adjust style to your team’s formatter before you commit.

Bindings

const limit = 25;
let cursor = 0;
var legacy = true; // avoid in new code

Loops

for (const item of list) {
  work(item);
}

while (cursor < limit) { cursor++; }

Functions

function slugify(input) {
  return input.trim().toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-');
}

Comments

// line
/* block */

Parse → transform → emit

// PHP pipeline sketch
const input = readLines();
const output = input
  .map(line => line.trim())
  .filter(Boolean)
  .map(transform);
writeLines(output);

Error handling wrapper

// PHP
function runSafely(task) {
  try {
    return { ok: true, value: task() };
  } catch (err) {
    return { ok: false, error: String(err) };
  }
}

Does PHP run on ConversionTab servers?
No. Download the file and run it in your usual compiler or runtime. Editing here does not execute PHP on our servers.
Is my code uploaded while I type?
Normal editing stays in the browser. You do not need an account to draft or download.
Can I change theme and font size?
Yes—use the toolbar above the editor. Preferences can persist in local storage on this device.
When should I use an IDE instead?
Use your IDE for large projects, debugging, secrets, and production builds. This page is for short drafts and reviews.
