Php Ide

[Raven_Writer]

I'm not sure if this is the correct one to place this (or in the program board), but does anyone know of a place where to get a free PHP IDE? I knew of one called dev-php or something like that, but I can't find the link anymore (if you know where I can find this, please give me the link...I've searched Yahoo for this before posting).

Could this be it?

Yes, that is it. Thanks much (/feels I should just use the Google Toolbar instead of the Yahoo one)

There's probably other stuff of interest here: http://www.php.net/links.php

Wordpad is what I used (besides MSVC++ 6 [ha, I'm cheap]). Notepad is great if you hate Wordpad and/or don't have MSVC++ or another program w/ syntax highlighting (although VC++ doesn't have the php stuff).

OR use something nice like Jedit (www.jedit.org) which supports syntax highlighting of 80 some languages and support for a plethora of plugins.

http://www.scintilla.org/
does code folding
draws little lines that lines up if brackets, etc
does syntax coloration for more stuff than i knew existed

http://www.chami.com/html-kit/
syntax coloration
far more plugins than you will ever need

http://www.maguma.com/en/lightdownload.html
full blown IDE (does auto-completion for your own classes/functions as well as php's built in stuff)
syntax coloration (whoo!)
phpdoc support (pops up tooltips, and... eh. similar to javadoc in java)

http://phpeclipse.sourceforge.net/
plugin for eclipse, does same things as maguma, but you get all the power of the eclipse platform

similar to the above, slightly inferior (IMO), but the two both have slight advantages over the other

there are lots more... :P
