How can I get the PHP linter output right in vim on Windows?

Question

I'm using PHP linter to check syntax errors in PHP , right from vim with that command : :!PHP -l "%" when I do that, ( I'm on Windows ) , Windows open another CMD and the result of the parsing is displayed in that window.

Is it possible to get the output of the linter right into vim, either in the bottom of vim or maybe in a readonly buffer at the bottom of my screen ?

Answer 1

Try doing ":compiler php", then ":make %". If errors are reported, Vim will jump to the first one. You can also view them by typing ":cwindow" or ":copen". This involves the QuickFix system, see ":help quickfix.txt" to learn more about it.
