Php ide

[esaym]

I am looking for a good php IDE. I downloaded and installed Eclipse but I could not get the zend studio php plugin working at all. I couldn't even get it to install, the installation manual is horrid (and yet they want $400? yea right) I tried Aptana but it shot out a ton of java errors, probably because it is a 32 bit java app and this is gusty 7.10 64 bit maybe. Anyone know of any other good ide's that might work?

I like Gedit,but I think Bluefish has syntax highlighting for PHP,and Geany I think,maybe give those a try.

If you have any Vim skills, you could use it as IDE and debug on your server directly:

I only use Lisp with Vim.
Everything PHP is done in gedit,and I don't use it for my website,I use mod_caml for apache,so PHP is not my web-dev language.

Ah sorry, I actually wanted to reply to the original post. I'm fine with people using gedit if that suites their needs of course ;).

I used to use PHPEclipse before Aptana. I liked PHPEclipse better than Aptana for pure PHP, but Aptana is better for html, css and javascript.

Give it a try!

NetBeans (http://www.netbeans.org/) 6.5 M1 release now has PHP support.

Netbeans is a very good IDE.

Edit: Actually, I think NetBeans 6.1 has it too (stable release).
