IDE do you use?

I use dreamweaver but recently i have found some weired bugs in dreamweaver for editing php documents.
Which ide do you use for php?

What type of wierd bugs?

I will mainly use PHPEdit(Personal Lisence) but when i need to design the layout of the site... i use dreamweaver for its "visualness".

IDEs are evil. Dreamwaver pretends to be nice, but is really evil underneath. Frontpage is simply the spawn of Satan.

I use Notepad++ for all web work - HTML, CSS, PHP, JS etc.

I also use Dreamweaver and like the fact it displays the required paramaters for each function being called.

PHP Code:

---

//Getting the date
date(string format, int timestamp) 


---

I see Notepad++ has an auto complete feature but doesn't prompt for the paramaters to be passed to the function being called. I guess for a guru like you penagate who knows all the php functions you don't need it :)

If you dont know a function you can find it in two secs on php.net :)

php.net/function_name

True, but for us "novices" it's a helping hand without having to look anything up :)

are there any php IDE's with intellisense, it would be so much easier if there were. I probably have pressed the search button on php.net like 20,000 times

Check out Zend, although not free. ;)

I use VS.PHP only because its a plugin for Visual Studio. There isn't a WYSIWYG but it supports classes and PHP5. It comes with a debugger but its isn't that good. Although using notepad and your browser is the best way to learn PHP and debug scripts quickly.

I use EditPlus at home, but unfortunetly, I don't think it's maintained anymore. I use TextPad at work, but I'm not that happy with it. :(

I know it still has a website, but it's been on version 2.21 since the last great extinction.

No, the best IDE for PHP Development is PHP Designer 2006 Beta

It is the best IDE I have ever used, you can check it out http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php

It really is worth it.
