General Board / Re: PHP5 Code generation - buggy ?
« on: December 19, 2005, 07:37:21 am »
Hi There,
Just to add to the discussion.
I have downloaded the trial version of EA 6.0.x.
I am using PHP 5 as code language. I tried to reverse engineer a project of mine. With some time spent i got the project nicely into the model. When i added new classes and method i saw that i lost the variable types (which i always have defined in PHPDoc). I found your discussion on one time reverse engineering and from then on only forward engineering.
As a OO purist i totally agree with the fact that you normally work forward. But working a lot with PHP programmers that don't have much experience with Modelling languages i think that it is nessecary to have the possibillity to create round-trips.
For me it is a must to be able to work with EA.
I find the tool very handy and i would really like to buy it, but if i lose all var information by reverse engineering twice, it is of no real use to me.
grtz,
Wouter
