    Resolved [RESOLVED] what's a good php programming GUI and debugger?

    Hello guys,

    I'm starting PHP and I have a couple of questions.

    What's a good windows GUI for programming in PHP? Dreamweaver is not that good. It doesn't help me at all.

    What's a good script debugger for PHP? also for windows.

    Thanks

    I personally use Dreamweaver and have had no issues with but this thread may help you out.

    If you have PHP installed on your machine you can debug your scripts in your befault browswer (if any errors have occurred) HTH

    Thanks for the reply lintz.

    I downloaded PHP Designer 2006. Looks good.

    By debugging I ment going step by step though the code, querying variables at runtime if possible. Pretty much like ASP.NET does. I'm not sure (and I doubt it) if there's something similiar like that on PHP?

    Thanks,

    No probs

    I'm not away of any products that allow you to debug your scripts by steping through them but maybe one of the experts would know?

    Zend Studio can do it. I'm not aware of any others.

    There is also a Visual Studio add-in for PHP that you will need to purchase after a 30 day trial. I've tried it and it's quite good. It comes with its own stripped-down Apache server.

    I use Visual PHP, as mendhak mention, really good and means if you use Visual Studio you don't need to have loads of IDE's installed
