POLL: Which IDE do you use to develop PHP?

Hi group,

Just curious what IDEs are popular nowadays.

What do you expect from an IDE?
Debugging?
Do you use your IDE for debugging, or do you work like me? (Just use some
smart-placed var_dump() to dive into possible problems?)

Syntax highlightning?
Anything else?

I use Eclipse 2.1 with PHP-plugin.
Reason: It is for free and works fine.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

If it is my code, I use Emacs with some well placed var_dumps.

If someone else's code that I have to maintain (and it has HTML/PHP
mixed in), I use Anjuta.

Yes, debugging support is something that would make things easier. But
I usually survive by putting error_reporting (E_ALL).

I prefer debugging while running on the target system too (ie the
webhost) rather than locally (even though I sometimes test locally
using Apache first).

Syntax highlightning?


Yes. For documentation, I've put a direct shortcut to the php.net
search engine, so I get all in need in one line.

I don't need more :-)

Hi Erwin
My favorite is Maguma WorkBench. I think that this is the best decision
for a PHP IDE.

Up until about 2 days ago, I was using UltraEdit for all my PHP/HTML
work. Now I've started using Zend Studio to see if will make things any
easier for me. I do like the fact that as you are typing the function
protocols pop up and if you forget a semicolon, there is a visual hint
for you.

I use Quanta 3.3.0
Built-in docs for PHP
quick-key function complete
Highlighting (about 30 diff code styles)
Alot more.
Only 1 drawback I have found so far.
FTP Setup is something left to be desired.I am thus required to
maintain 2 copies of my site code. Not that this is a bad thing as far
as backups are concerned, just wish I could ftp straight from Quanta is
all.

I use PHPEdit from http://www.waterproof.fr/. It's free for personal use. It
is a full-fledged IDE with a debugger.

I'd like to put up two polls on my web site on a single page. I will be using a free remotely hosted poll service. That part is easy. But I want to remove the two individual <a href> links that have to be clicked to call the current results individually and replace them with a single link that will be used to call the results of both pages and display them at the same time, most likely in a table. Can PHP be used to do this? How would...

I'm making some changes in poll module. I don't know which method of storing options of poll is better. The main data of polls are in POLLS table. Speed and efficiency is the most important issue. There are 2 methods: 1. Storing options in ANSWERS table and executing 2 queries to get poll's data and options. Number of records connected with a poll in that table is equal to number of poll's options.
