    Hello,

    I have been developing in Microsoft Tools for long now. However, due to my hosting server issues I am thinking to switch to Linux server and migrate the solution from asp.net to php. I have to admit that initially I was not happy about this decision because I thought developing in php will not be that fun as it used to be in developing windows application. But after my research, I think its a good decision because there are alot of good hosting service provider for Linux platform.

    Anyways to cut the story short, I am looking for the best IDE for PHP development that has the following features:-

    1. Debugging
    2. Intellisense
    3. Handling big projects not an issue
    4. Compiles and Found warnings & errors (if any)
    5. Class and function views
    6. Can handle many projects
    7. Source code control
    8. FTP Integration
    9. Database navigation
    10. Integrated Web Browser
    11. Code Snippets can be imported

    According to my initial research its a tie between Zend Studio and PhpED (NuSphere). What do your experience tells you ? What would you suggest and also if you think if there is any other IDE I should look to, please do let me know.

    Thanks everyone for the help.

    Check out Aptana Studio - they do have a free version (for Windows and Linux) that does everything you want.

    Notepad++ is the best for web programming.
