Eight PHP IDEs Compared

Posted by timothy on from the colonic-extraction dept.

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Rick Grehen provides an in-depth comparative review of eight PHP IDEs: ActiveState's Komodo IDE, CodeLobster PHP Edition, Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT), MPSoftware's phpDesigner, NetBeans IDE for PHP, NuSphere's PhpED, WaterProof's PHPEdit, and Zend Studio. 'All of these PHP toolkits offer strong support for the other languages and environments (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL database) that a PHP developer encounters. The key differences we discovered were in the tools they provide (HTML inspector, SQL management system) for various tasks, the quality of their documentation, and general ease-of-use,' Grehen writes.'"

    Aside from using one specific IDE, he pretty much never uses IDEs. Here are some more for you to practice on:

    Aside from tylenol, I pretty much never use drugs.

    Aside from kathleen fent, I pretty much never fuck fat girls.

    Aside from New Year's eve, I pretty much never get shit faced.

    It doesn't count as an "IDE" unless the code pane is 120x100px when the window's fullscreen and opening the program requires a splash screen.
