DamienRoche Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I've been doing php for about a month and I think it's about time I bought a decent IDE. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm willing to fork out some serious doh..php is for life! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm a huge addict of Zend Studio 5.5.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Here's a screenshot of ZDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 html-kit ftw. And it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamienRoche Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks for the screenshot! I think I have to get it. I've been using notepadd++..good for syntax highlighting and sessions but that's about it. So do you think Zend would be considered the best?

.josh Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 well...Zend does have the advantage of having some of the core php developers (the people who actually made php) on their staff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 only because I'm used to it. next screen-shot: the plus side to ZEND vs html-kit: yes, you're seeing intuitive completion. it rocks (don't know the proper name, but it rocks none the less). Plus, if you can get your company to foot the bill, awesome! that's how I got my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 oh boy, not this question again This question has been answered umphteem billion times.... You can get plenty of IDE ideas from this topic http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,54859.0.html it's even stickied/pinned up so no one ever had to ask it again..lol I guarentee you there isn't one IDE you can name that isn't already mentioned there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I use NP++, it's good enough for me. phpDesigner is another one you may consider. I've only seen my friend use it though, but it looked pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 html-kit does have a good community that offers up a ton of mods and addons that do many things, including auto-completion. But anyways, zanus is right, we have a sticky for this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamienRoche Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well I won't waste anyone's precious time for much longer. Just like to say I think I'm going to try html-kit with the auto-complete add ons and some others..if that doesn't touch me where it tickles I think I'll give zend a go. Also, this topic was moved and I only ever go into php help, being a noob and all, so I didn't even come into this board to post this. Being a coder you tend to have an eye for detail My mistake, next time I'll do a bit of searching on the forum. Thanks for the advice guys!
