    Resolved [RESOLVED] Good IDE?

    I'm wondering what a good PHP IDE I can use is.

    I have a PHP project coming up and I've never made a PHP site.
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.

    CodeBank: All Threads • Colors ComboBox • Fading & Gradient Form • MoveItemListBox/MoveItemListView • MultilineListBox • MenuButton • ToolStripCheckBox • Start with Windows

    Notepad2... Maybe it's just the sort of people I associate with, but most don't use a real IDE for PHP.

    Though I hear people are fond of Eclipse and NetBeans.

    JuggaloBrotha,

    If you are used to Visual Studio, and a spare bit of cash, why not something like this:

    Re: Good IDE?

    Thanks guys, I'd ended up installing Zend Studio then found out my manager wants me to use Adobe CS3 like the rest of the team so I'm stuck with that for now.

    gep13, I was using Zend for a day and quickly realised how annoying it was becoming, I like the looks of that vs.php IDE since I do come from VS 2003/2005/2008 background.
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.

    Hey,

    If you ever get round to using it, it would be good to get some feedback on what you thought of it.

    How do you write PHP using CS3?

    Zend Studio I agree is annoying.

    Dreamweaver, I suppose...? A selection that is telling of the developer character of your manager.

    I will never understand managers who insist on the tools their developers should use...

    Agreed, the developer should be able to dictate the programs used. At the end of the day, they are the ones using it, and the ones who know which one is best for the job.

    Re: [RESOLVED] Good IDE?

    I know you closed this thread as resolved, but I suggest Eclipse.
    I use Eclipse for all non .Net work (Java, PHP, Html, CSS)
    It's a bit overwhelming in the beginning but I found it the best for TDD, debugging, managing projects, integrating with SVN to name a few. (But then, all of those can be run from different places...it's not like you can't do it)
    Looks good on your resume though...more professional if you ask me.

    However, all of the suggestions are valid ones. Myself used all of them and in the end ... it's you writing the code. :-)
