Wich softwere to use for php development

[wert]

Hi there, I want to know which is the must popular software used in php development??
I actualy use Edit Plus 2, its fine 'cose it colorise de reserved words, 'n stuff, but it is not a debugger! and that's a pain in the a**, when I got some errors ( over all JavaScrip errors) I use J++ to seee where the problem is, but in most of the cases it get's a little short, 'cos it has not source available... I all raedy try MM DreamWeaver 5, but its to slow... and dosen't recognice the reserved weords or predefined functions of php.
So if there is a softwere that the most of de php developers use becasue it gather all the good aspects of the ones I jus have describe; or perhapps is a plug-in or some thing I don't know yet.

Please let me know what software you use for php development and all of your recomendations...

Thanx!

I use Textpad (http://www.textpad.com) - it is a normal text editor, but it has nifty things like fully programmable syntax highlighting, regexp search and replace, and a macro editor.

As for error reporting - the php mod includes error reporting, but it's default setting is quite low.

Assuming your PHP install is on Windows (let me know if you're on unix because it's different) you can increase error reporting by opening php.ini (which will probably be in C://WINDOWS or C://WINNT) - look for this line

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE;

and change it to

error_reporting = E_ALL;

Dreamweaver MX knows PHP, and acutally has better syntax coloring than EditPlus2 does, because MX knows PHP syntax, and not just keywords. MX (and EditPlus) is still missing some of my favorite text-editing features that TextPad (http://www.textpad.com) has, but since MX has lots of cool goodies (built-in FTP, DB connectivity, file management, snippet library, auto-complete) plus you can chose from three different workspaces (DW4, MX, Homesite) plus prevent it from editing code in any file-type, it is a viable text-editor replacement for PHP coding.

MX recognizes ASP, JSP, Cold Fusion, XML, Javscript, and CSS, with built in references from ORielly (and others) for most of these.

The new MX workspace is waaay cool. But, it will make you wish for a BIG monitor.

If all this info isn't enough, there's a good thread over at SitePoint (http://www.sitepointforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58161) on this very same subject.

EditPlus every time for me ,

You can try the Zend Studio (www.zend.com) which has a real debugger but its really not very stable on win32
