Hello there . Please could you tell me what IDEs are considered to be top IDEs for web development mainly for PHP ? Thanks in advance!!!
Deleted that post. What I should have said was, you are asking the same question for the thousandth time that has been asked on DP before.
The best one is the one you're most productive with. Many professionals use a text editor. (Almost no professionals use Dreamweaver.) If you're doing this for a hobby it hardly matters - whatever gets your site done is good.
Aptana Studio is a fantastic IDE (even moreso when you consider the price). But I consider it massive overkill for most of my work. It's like using an Abrams tank to "travel" to the shelf behind me. I can write just about anything I need in a decent text editor. (I still sometimes wonder why Edit Plus costs more than Aptana, when Aptana's editor alone is a lot more program than all of Edit Plus.)
Started it back up. Thank you DP'ers! I almost thought this would die by the end of the year but nope. Probably has another year or two of repeated answers in it. Keep it comin'!
DreamWeaver is perfect IDE for web development. You can do everything: design layout template, code, preview and publish - All in one.
I'm a big fan of Vim. It may be a little challenging at first but once you get the hang of it, it will boost your productivity immensely.
