Years ago, this is how I started... and how many new PHP
developers still start when they get acquainted with the
language:
- PHP files are on the server only
- They are editted with a very simple editor, like vim
- (Alternatively, FTP and Notepad are used)
- Coding standards are optional
In more commercial environments, many things are often
missing:
- There are no proper specs
- Source control is not heard off
- Things are released or delivered "when they are ready"
- This is not a sustainable environment
