suggestions on what (PHP) IDE to use

sukatoa

Im kinda first time to post here.... ;-)

I would like to learn PHP this summer....

But, i don't know what Editor or PHP IDE is the best for me as a beginner....

Can you recommend the best URL for PHP Editor? or PHP IDE...

Im surfing the web, but, as a beginner, i am aware of choosing those Editors that may not suitable for me....

Can we embed java applets in PHP? or it's just in an HTML again?

Any kind/unkind replies will be appreciated...

This dicussion crops up regularly and you are likely to get as many answers as there are users of different IDE's. Some swear by Notepad, others by Dreamweaver.

In short: there is no ideal IDE, it all depends on (a) what functions do you want, (b) how much money do you want to spend, and (c) what is more appealing to you.

My suggestion is that you start slowly, staring with Notepad or a simple editor. Then you'll find what you miss and from there on look at an editor that fulfills your requirements.

See also a discussion in the following thread HERE and don't forget to look at a side that is dedicated to (PHP) editors HERE

I use PHP Designer 2007 Personal.

It's nice because when you type a PHP function, say strlen(), when you type inside the parenthesis it shows you what parameters are expected.
[php]
#if i typed strlen()
#it would show
strlen(string string)
[/php]
It's useful!
Also, it makes everything pretty colors and supports most programming languages!

I happen to use PHP Designer 2008 6.0.1.2.but it is not free. But by paying you get more function (like Xdebug, manuals and phpDocumentor). For my purpose it is a good and cheap editor with debug functions.

But, as I said, it all depends on price, function and attractiveness.

Snap!

There you have it, get one of the PHP Designer's suites!
