Zira Editor is a lightweight PHP Editor for Linux, Android and Raspberry Pi with syntax highlighting and autocomplete.

Zira Editor for Android includes a development pack with PHP 7.3.22, Git 2.28.0 and SassC 3.6.1 binaries.

With this development pack you can clone, pull or push your code to remote repository, run PHP code inside editor or start built-in PHP webserver and test your project in web-browser.

PHP binary has following extensions: OpenSSL, cURL, FTP, Iconv, GD, mbstring, SQLite, XML, Zip and Zlib.

Zira Editor brings almost everything you need to start PHP-coding on Android.

You might want to borrow a hardware keyboard and mouse :)

Important notes:

Disable word prediction in your virtual keyboard settings.

For better experience install Hacker's keyboard or use hardware keyboard and mouse.

Mouse right-click context menu can be opened by long press or from main menu (Tools - Context menu).

To store your project files outside application data folder (i.e. sdcard) you need to give storage permission to Zira Editor in application settings (Android 6+ only). All files saved in application data folder will be lost after uninstall / reinstall if you won't backup your files.

If text is too small you can increase font size in Settings dialog or you can set a proper scale factor for window.

How to run your code on Android without root using Termux (Android 5+):

Install Termux terminal emulator.

Open terminal and run command:

termux-setup-storage

Now you can access your sdcard if you type:

cd storage

Install PHP:

pkg install php

Go to your project home directory:

cd project_home

Start PHP built-in web server:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8000

Open 127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.
