    I am quite experienced with ASP.NET and have been recently learning PHP 4.x. I was wondering how the latest version of PHP is compared to ASP.NET 3.5. Also, are there any editors that have intellisense for PHP that is as good as Visual Studio 2008?

    PHP 4 was released in 2000, just learn PHP 5.

    And I haven't used ASP.NET myself, but I'd recommend phpDesigner which has code prompting (which I assume is the same as 'Intellisense'.

    Zend studio or Eclipse are probably the best IDE's for PHP. At this point, I would learn php5, but also figure out what's changing in php6 and adapt appropriately. ereg_ and some other functions will be gone in php6, so it's best not to use them at all any more.
