.net is to visual studio as php is to ?

[SoundTheSurrender]

What would be the equivalent IDE for PHP?

I saw Eclipse but it seemed pretty complicated just to set up a PHP environment.

Thanks

why would you say its complicated to set up?

Manage or Install -> enter in http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/ and you are all set.

Zend Studio is what I use.

It might cost a bit, but the functionality inside is amazing.

Zend Studio ... it's wonderful.

They also now have (as another option) Zend Studio based on Eclipse, which is also very nice.

I have them both and love them both.

*Disclaimer: I am (at best) a hobbyist programmer and probably wouldn't know a great IDE if it bit me in the ass. However, I bought & own most of them and really like the Zend stuff ( I like VS as well ).

Good Luck

Scott

Notepad? Maybe Notepad2 or Notepad++.

Notepad++ here. Thats the beauty of languages like php and C++. You're not tied to a fixed environment, you can use whatever the hell you want, .net is more constrained and your stuck on Windows, unless you use virtualization/emulation such as vmware/mono etc.

Oh come on. C# doesn't tie you to anything either, if you like you can write your code in notepad and compile it directly with csc. And Mono isn't virtualization or emulation, it's a full blown, native, free implementation of .Net so you're not tied to Windows in any way.

The same could be said about any language.
