php - Netbeans: Creating a Project Concept versus Opening Files -
i'm having little trouble understanding couple of concepts.
i new netbeans , using php development. using jedit. in jedit, open file browser , start editing files.
in netbeans, wants me create projects , import files.
my questions are:
when import project, sets data files netbeans needs , leaves original directory in tact, correct? noticed open , edit project , affected original.
sometimes switch between projects , want view /www/ directory of wamp server grab files, @ past projects, etc. why can't this? (must import projects see /www/ folder)
what point between creating project versus opening files?
thanks all!
the point of creating project vs opening files in editor netbeans knows these files go together. part of same project. allows you, instance, refactor function names or class names , have netbeans automatically apply changes everywhere used within project.
if create project existing sources, existing files ones you're editing. if have files under version control, can create netbeans project in directory checked out code. can commits , within netbeans.
