Best developer setup for PHP

Post by lockerrushing »

Hi,

I'm fairly new to PHP, and wondering if you guys could help me setup the best development environment.

What are the standard tools used?

1) Best IDE (I'm on a mac).

2) Debugging tools.

3) How is Zend?

4) If I use Zend studio, do I need to instal the platform on the server?

Also, if anyone can recommend some good reading material. I'm specifically working with the interspire shopping cart system. Am going to do some basic reskinning and possibly add some custom functionality.

Thanks!
