PHP Development Environments?

Posted by Cliff on from the programming-personal-home-pages dept.

rbolkey queries: "I've been looking for a comparison between Zend's PHP IDE, NuSphere's PHPEd, and Maguma's PHP4EE, but have failed to find any. Does anyone know how these IDEs compare? Are they useful? Are they worth the price?" We last handled this question over a year ago. PHP has changed since then, and I'm sure more development tools for PHP have been released since then. What recommendations do you have for PHP coding environments? What features do you find the most useful?

  1. I still use phped by mike13down · · Score: 2, Funny

    The pre-nusphere one works great, except for a few bugs. I like the purty colors and it gets the job done. I tried the new zend beta and i must say, no matter how hard they try, I cant get used to the java gui.

    And for the people who say, "I use vi or emacs", go plow a field with oxen , then try it with a john-deer. And if your a real man go hammer some nails with your head, if you have some spare time you can widdle me a new chair for my desk with a butter knife.
