PHP IDE?
Permalink
Hello all, does anyone have any recommendations for a good PHP IDE?
Basically, I'm a .Net developer getting back into PHP and am trying to find an application with as many of the features of Visual Studio as possible—intelli-sense, auto-complete, and support for custom libraries/classes (in intelli-sense and auto-complete), being of the utmost importance.
I'm currently looking at Roadsend Studio IDE (Google result 1), but would rather hear from the community what products everyone uses and recommends.
So, thanks in advance!

Thanks Scott. I'll test both Zend and VS2008 and see what happens.
VS 2008 is visual studio :)
You might be able to get a php add-on that debugs php through visual studio, but I haven't looked into that recently as Zend Studio for Eclipse works well enough.

I have been using webuilder for years now.
The price is close to free has all the features you asked for as well as built-in debugger(like zend) and great support. Since i started using it about 4 years ago i have not looked for a new one since. It is definatly worth looking into. You can download the trial.
They also have some other products but webuilder incorporates all of them. And i thinks its like $80.00. And if you already have a registered version you get a good discount on the new releases

I feel it is pretty good, but I use the debugging less and less anymore now that I have a better feel for c5.
It has pretty decent intellisense, I miss hitting tab to autocomplete but I am sure that is a setting that can be changed.
You WILL miss LINQ! :)
If i had free reign on the imac I would use Coda, maybe I can figure out the best way to share files on the network ie something like Dropbox but for local network ie the quad core 2 monitor unless the imac is available.
