    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".
    Without balance, there could only be chaos.
    Without chaos, there could be no balance.
    I live with karma. Eat with destiny. Dream of life without shackles....
    Yet. If life had no consequences, life could not exist, nor could it flourish.


    If at first you dont succeed.You're screwed.

    C++/Java NOOB.

    I aint a professional at PHP, but if i can help i will.

    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 formatint 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

    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.

    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.
