Which professional free IDE for PHP is the best to use?
There's not such thing as "best" IDE for PHP, but if you're looking for
a coding tool with some advanced features these are alternatives you
could consider:
* Eclipse PDT: Eclipse is a quite veteran IDE written in Java with lots
of features. It was created to write Java code but now it has support
for many other languages. PDT is the PHP support for Eclipse.
* NetBeans: It's another IDE written in Java. It's in the same line as
Eclipse (Java IDE evolved) though I think it's not as bloated as
Eclipse. Its PHP support is quite new.
* Komodo Edit: It's the free version of Komodo IDE and it's based in the
Mozilla XUL platform. It's very nice and well thought.
Neither Java nor XUL are particularly fast but, apart from the time they
take to launch, these three editors are quite usable. Apart from this,
there're a lot of PHP-specific editors which are normally simple text
editors with lots of toolbars and some advanced functions.
Also, there's a PHP extension called Xdebug that allows you to generate
debugging info you can read in many IDEs.
It may be obvious but... These are coding aids, don't expect a visual
HTML editor where you can drag and drop controls.
