OK so I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but I'd appreciate your help
I'm mainly an asp.net and C# programmer I know some basics about php now I'm trying to dive into it more professionally
and I need you're help guys , is there an environment similar to Microsoft Visual studio? what are the best tools I could use and download right now? I really don't want to get lost with too many links and downloads that is why I came here

any advice or help is much appreciated :)
Thanks

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.
