Well... i don`t know if this is the right forum part to be asking this, but anyway:

What PHP IDE would you recommend? I`m using Netbeans, but i really hate Java since it is too heavy. I`ve googled for alternatives, but could not pick anything.

What i need is:

PHP, HTML+CSS, JS syntax highlighting, project management and ability to point out my syntax mistakes i made (like missing <div> tag or similar).

I`m using xUbuntu, so any KDE apps would be the last thing i`d choose :)

P.S. i don`t like Eclipse also :)

Seems like Eclipse and NetBeans could be a little bit overkill since you don't need that many IDE features. Recently I started using jedit for a small PHP/JS/HTML project. Its got a bunch of plugins for this kind of development, and you can configure it to the smallest details. Personally I'm not sure if I like it yet, but I think choice of IDE is much about personal taste and how much you put in to learn it. You can try it and see what you think. It's in the Ubuntu repositories.

PS Google "jedit edit php" to get a list of recommended plugins
