I would personally recommend running a local web server on your machine to test code. Try xampp, easy to install and use.

If you don't want to do this and you want debugging in the IDE, I came accross one called Eclipse the other day. Never used it, but it does what you want,

Or just download and install php, and SciTE. It has an output pane, that shows errors. Don't forget to turn errors on. :wink:

Another option is to get Abyss Web Server and install PHP...its really easy. XAMPP is too bloated for my tastes.

localhost is the best

recently i've been forced to use eclipse for a cvs project. it is pretty amazing although i think i'll stick with my simple editor in the end. but eclipse will give you nice debug info
