Trying to find a good PHP GUI, any suggeestions?

I am looking to get started using PHP and I am looking for a nice GUI to
use.
Basically I have been programing in Macromedia Director, and Macromedia
Flash for years now, and I have gotten spoiled by having auto code
formating, basic error checking, and a nice library of syntax with help
featured attached to them for when I am trying to hunt down the perfect
piece of syntax or trying to make sure I have used a piece of syntax
correctly.

Any suggestions? I know there a lot of PHP interfaces out there, and I have
no idea which ones are worth looking into.

Thanks tons for any advice you guys have for me.

Macromedia Dreamweaver will help some. Does color coding and tooltips
showing function parameters. Still nothing like Director.

I've been trialling DW8. It has code-collapsing (at LAST!) and a few
other doo-dads. No inbult debugger, but I never use one anyway.

You'll probably be familiar with the interface. I use it in text only
mode - with no fancy code re-writing options etc. - which makes it
probably the most expensive text editor around <hehehe>.

Also, I never bother with any of the "live data" options as I found
them pretty chronic to use.

On the *good* side ... file & site management functions are pretty
good. Syntax checkers are OK too.

Worth a trial at least.

An IDE perhaps? If you want a GUI, look into php-gtk; hoever, since you
are looking to get started, I assume you mean an IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) or at the very least some kind of code editor.

You definitely meant IDE, did you? no GUI will give you all the
features you need. I'd recommend you PhpED (www.nusphere.com) - it has
all that you mentioned plus code completion (it suggests you syntax as
you tipe) and a really nice debugger as well.

I'm using that one myself and I really love that one.

I believe you have to sign in for a trial, though

This is the PHP editor I've been using for a long time.

In my opinion the Zend Studio is the best IDE for PHP, but it costs :)

I could argue here, but eventually it's all a question of taste :)

A week or two ago, I asked here about porting Python to C. Got some good answers (Note 1) but now I've got another question. Actually, more a request for clarification of a topic that both the Python tutorial and docs leave a touch murky to my understanding. Dictionaries/"dict" types... Am I understanding/interpreting correctly when I go with the idea that a "dict" variable can be looked at as (effectively) two parallel arrays?...

Tom, It sounds to me like ASP, not ASP.NET is handling the request for WebForm1.aspx. This is most likely an IIS config issue that may have been caused by order of installation or reinstallation, or possibly even something that happened in IIS before .NET was installed. Here is a way to prove or disprove my theory:
