If you're looking for an IDE, PhpStorm is best in class. Netbeans isn't quite as feature rich, but it's free.

And there is also Eclipse. Since IDE/Editor preferences are personal, I'd recommend trying all three.

Thanks a lot guys for your help I'll deferentially check them out
I'm familiar with Eclips I used it along time ago but I'll try PhpStorm and see how things turn out
Thanks again

FYI - Eclipse and NetBeans are free. PhpStorm has a cost, and is well worth it.
