I develop under WinXP with UltraEdit 10 (excellent) as editor, TopStyle for CSS, Avant Browser (IE 6 engine+ tabbed browsing+ pop-up killer) and the extenden chm version of the PHP Help

The web/database server is RedHat 9 running in VMware (without GUI, but sometimes I'm firing up the GUI to test the code in Konqueror and Mozilla). Connected to RedHat with Samba.

I use Apache/MySQL on a win2k machine at home for testing. My webhost is same on Linux.

As editor I use PHPEdit (latest developer version, not bugfree to be sure but has great features) and UltraEdit.

I am looking into CVS, at the moment going back and forth between CVS and Subversion. I am a little anxious to have to install it all, can't quite grasp the workings of it all, so if anyone has any advice on this point, feel free to let me know :-)

I do have a Wacom Volito tablet but still not using it too much, haven't taken the time to get used to it so far.

I have a W2K system and use Macromedia Dreamweaver for PHP development. I have a Uniserver as a testing server on my localhost and I use that to debug my code and when it's finished I upload it to web with DW's internal FTP.

Of course it's a matter of personal preference but I'd recommend trying out a coding-orientated program (assuming you haven't already looked at these).

EditPlus for example has syntax highlighting, project management, cliptext and a host of useful features to help with programming.

Without CVS, even in single dev enc, it becomes a hassle to test and fix medium to large projects.. In general I have a CVS respository somewhere net accessible, and export a sandbox copy towherever I work.. I have a Zend Studio on my Debian GNU/Linux enabled laptop, at home I have my laptop in my lap, in other offices I often work on their desktops, often windows and work on my own machine system via VNC, or for small projects and quick fixes I just use (putty on a) shell..
Notepad is not an option for me, it does not have line numbering and it does not offer any type of formatting nor understanding of non-dos line endings. I was using EditPlus back in the days, but after gvim became so simple to install on windows its easier to use that, but preferably and mostly I work on my own machine.

As nielsene/Eric mentioned in another thread, CVS is really the biggest timesaver, wherever you are and whatever you fix and change it is so easy to commit that back without having to edit your original source and such..

Currently, I am using Dreamweaver MX to create and edit my PHP Scripts, but I am considering switching to Zend Studio. Zend seems to have more stuff for PHP. Plus that small business program is looking very attractive to me. I am also considering purchasing CuteFTP for FTP stuff.

Oh, I do all of this stuff on my laptop with a Windows XP Home operating system. I develop, test, and debug all of my script locally and then upload them to the server later.

Zend Studio is not a replacement for Dreamweaver, and DW is not really an editor.. Together you can create cool stuff with'em :)

Looked at SmartFTP?

Why not? I currently only use Dreamweaver to code with. I don't use any of the WSIYWIG stuff that comes with it. thanks for telling me about SmartFTP.

All CODE environments:

Secure CRT SSH
I am very about code on the server, saves a lot of upload/download time.
VIM Editor is the only one I use.. Notepad? eep.. I use it to keep notes on my desktop. :p

MySQL
PHPMyAdmin (Just gotta love and support other peoples code).

HTML
Dreamweaver MX

Hmm, I'm using a HomeSite 5.0, with syntax highligthing and stuff. I'm using HomeSite since 3.something version, so I get used to it, but in near future I going to change it to Dreamweaver MX or Zend Studio - but I think the DMX will win, cause I not doing only PHP based sites.

Sending files to the server is a pain in the a$& for me (it's a work of a stupid :D - maybe I will hire someone to do it for me :lol: ), so when I can I deploy files using HomeSite internal ftp client. But when it comes to some specific servers where I can't have ftp client - only ssh, i'm using SSH Secure Shell. And also AceFTP come handy from times to times.

I always trying to develop my systems using the server on which the site will exist later, but when I'm somewhere were I can't have internet connection (yes, there are some places like that in the world), I'm using WXP with Apache 2 and MySQL 4.xxx and PHP4 with all libraries needed.

uhm as I tried to mention earlier, DW and ZS is not comparable products, although they both have some of the same features, ZS don't know much about designs, and DW don't know a lot about PHP...

DW is for design.
ZS is an IDE/Debugger with a good editor for PHP.
