I've been coding php mostly with vim so far, but I was thinking if there is any really good php visual IDE.
Something like QT+qt designer or Delphi etc... so that you just drag'n'drop to create forms, DB connections etcetc....
there is no visual editor because there are no visual components in PHP itself. If you are using a framework, if that codebase has visual controls, an editor could be made for it.. however most, if not all the ones I've seen have no such editor (publicly at least)..
Are these tools for Linux? Because if he said Vim he might be looking for Linux software. I would suggest gVim, then, because that's the only I know (although it doesn't have all the features you specified).
