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

I think my setup is not very popular.

I use GNU screen, vim, bash, and (sometimes) ELinks.
I prefer to make all my functions (I still don't do OOP) work for
command-line use and add the HTML at the highest possible level (usually
the scripts that are "callable" from the user's browser). So my
functions use a lot of arrays and I use print_r() to debug them.

Syntax highlighting is on, but I only consciously notice with when I
forget to close quotes around some text.

I use BBEdit 8.0 (commercial text editor) on Mac OS X.
<http://www.barebones.c om/products/bbedit/index.shtml>.

I also have Apache/PHP/MySQL running locally on my machine, the web
serving part is an exact copy of the production webserver, apart from
error_reporting and stuff like that.

BBEdit is not an IDE as such, but I find that a few well-placed
print_r()'s and var_dump()'s are good enough for me.

I've gone a little more "cutting edge" lately and have been using gvim.

I use Adobe GoLive. Albeit, all I use it for is so that I have a
syntax highlighting text editor that knows most web languages.

For debugging, I rolled my own logging architecture and _always_
check return values and put in else clauses. Then errors email me,
and unimplemented features log themselves. Depending on the type of
log message more or less data is dumped.

Hence, I use an editor with pretty colors and debug on a server.

enjoy,

I wrote about 200,000 lines of PHP for Jaya123 with nedit (we're a Linux
house). We debug using "echo." There is probably a better way to create code
but when you do it with just a text editor you REALLY LEARN the language
well.

Good thread. I think we'd like to move to a "more robust" platform. But again,
you really LEARN with plain text.

I work in both FreeBSD and Windows....

Zend Studio for full development

Notepad for small hacks and modifications to code

Hi,

I use JEdit (http://jedit.sf.net).

It is free, works both on my Linux and Windows boxes and has a ton of
plugins including FTP, Secure FTP and CVS.

The Secure FTP plug-in is one of the main reasons why I started using
it, but ever since I did, I love it!

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.
