good PHP IDE?

Discussion in 'PHP' started by falcondriver, Dec 10, 2007.

  1. #1
    does anyone know a good php ide? dont need anything fancy, just an editor with code insight, the basic stuff.
    used maguma studio, but its pretty buggy and i get an "error in maguma_studio.exe" every 5 seconds if i open my classes.php (~15.000 lines code), so its impossible to use now.
    now im with php code pro, but it has some interface problems. sometimes i cant select anything, or selecting text dosnt works. if you reach a linebreak in your code with arrow right key it just continues on this line, instead of skipping to the next line - very annoing.

    any alternatives?

    HTML Edit, and Dreamweaver are also good, recently i'm using Notepad++ and it is also nice...

    All i prefer is Notepad++ & HTML Edit because both are freeware.

    Zend Studio is the best even though i never tried it lol

    I basically just use Dreamweaver, Notepad, and cpanel code editor for my PHP work.

    Dreamweaver CS3, because it has the best syntax highlighter.

    1- NotePad++
    2- TextPad

    Those 2 are the BEST simple and yet feature rich Editor (IDE)

    1- Eclipse

    Best editor/compiler package (IDE + Compiler)

    I use Notepad++ which has some really nice features but am looking to move to Eclipse PDT for php but Notepad++ has a smaller footprint on this machine which makes starting up a lot faster for me at this stage. I think for large projects Eclipse PDT works great.

    Zend studio is the best. Though Notpad++ also performs good. Zend studio can catch code errors while writing code (dynamically).

    I'll give one more vote for Zend Studio if you're a Windows user.

    My preference on a Mac is either Textmate (macromates.com) or Coda (panic.com/coda).
