Debugger
Newbie Question:
I am a refugee from a dyeing language. New to PHP. I am lookng for an IDE of sorts. Cost is not really on object.
I would love a step in, step out, break point capable debugger.
Suggestions?

Thanks all for the suggestions Ill try them and see.
As for: "I've never seen a skilled PHP programmer need a debugger."
Shoud I forget regression/acceptance testing too?

eclipse-pdt with xdebug is pretty easy to get going, just download the all-in-one package from the pdt download site. There is a newsgroup if you get stuck. Eclipse is a "large" ide, it will take you a while to get used to it but if you do it works pretty well and has lots of different features you can plug in.
The statement about skilled php programmers not needing a debugger is just plain silly. A good debugger will let a good programmer be far more productive, you can track down bugs in your code in a tenth the time an trying with no debugger. But you probaly know that already since you're looking for a debugger

Thanks Doug
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of hours people will spend to support "Free"
If you do a craft get the best tools possible. If you do it every day, dont let cost get in your way.
If I read this right Zend Studio cost $250? If is saves me an hour it pays for itself. If it save me two there is a positive ROI.
