Zend Studio vs Dreamweaver MX
I can't seem to find a good debate on this subject so I'll ask it here. Currently, I am using Dreamweaver MX. I am trying to make the decision whether or not to move to Zend Studio. I like the fact that Zend Studio is very PHP oriented and it has great intellisense/self documention, but I also want to know how easy it is to work with FTP and to do chmod commands in Zend Studio. I went to there website and they forums and couldn't find anything on the subject. Would I need to get a seperate FTP client just to upload and chmod files?

FTP: Yes, just right click in the file browser, and select the Add FTP Server option.voodoo9055 wrote:I can't seem to find a good debate on this subject so I'll ask it here.

As far as doing chmod commands, no, you can't. The really nice thing is the Remote Debugger, which is just too cool.
And I have tried out Zend 3.0 beta, and it's much better.

I don't find the lack of chmod'ing a big deal. I rarely need it to work with PHP, and I would rather my PHP Editor be good at assisting me in editing PHP, not working on the server.
If I want to do some server work, it's much easier for me to log into the server via ssh and type 'chmod 644 *' or 'chown user:group file'. Rather than do many things poorly, I would rather it do a few things exteremly well.

just a comment regarding the initial question; Zend Studio and Dreamweaver has very different purposes, DW is for design with some support for coding, ZS is more like an IDE/Debugger and contains very little design functionality... I havent really compared Zend Studio to any other PHP-IDE, but I'd say its worth the money, especially if you qualify for the small business deal..

auch! how can one program a program that doesn't have massive memory leaks on an operating system with inherint memory leaks????
do you use dos at all? i grew up in a world of dos... i grew up in a pre win 3.1 world!
(and i was born in 1979!)
if you use dos, learning the posix commands should NOT be hard. and you'll learn to hate the borg with a passion...because let's face it, windoze is so unstable it blows!
