Help!.... I am learning PHP, need a development software?

hello!,

I need a good development sofware as good as Netbeans (I have used Netbeans to develope JSP pages, i am looking sth like that for PHP) ...any idea?...plz let me know in what ways u think the sofware is good...thanks!

i'm a php dude myself (pretty good i might add :)) and i use Zend Studio 5.5 for the actual php coding, and Dreamweaver MX for such things as producing the code for tables. Zend Studio rocks for three reasons. 1) it's got auto-complete which is pretty useful coz php has zillions of functions and 2) it has cool code highlighting and 3) it has a built in browser so you don't have to leave it to test your code

I used Textpad before Zend Studio. It's also pretty cool but kinda basic. none of these is free though...

www.php-editors.com is your guide to choose a php development environment.
But I, an experienced php programmer, choose Zend Studio and Dreamweaver.

i dont know about netbeans but dreamweaver and apache server are must have to learn php as it incorporates the mysql server hope it helps...
dreamweaver helps u to connect the server and work on the real data and it has breakpoint facility various view newer version hav gr8 scripts
apache is lightweight server for php asp i think jsp also and mysql for sure
thus these are the best combo

hi, i have used both phpeclips and komodo

both very good, pick the one thats the best for you. all the others i tried i didnt think were worth mentioning

Do U Happen To Be A PC Or Mac User Coz If Your A Mac User I Know Tons Of Them

you could try jEdit. download at http://www.jedit.org
it has lot of features and it's free

Dreamweaver will be a good software... Tried it and you will know....

i use dreamweaver to integrate design and development. so far it's been helping me perfect. it has built-in php support such as it highlights php codes and shows you tips when you are typing php functions. It also has simple user interface for embedding php statements in your code. I haven't used other development software but the good thing about dreamweaver is it is also an advanced web design software. The only drawback is it doesn't have a linux version if you are a linux user.
