php ide

Post by kcormier »

Hi All.

I used to use aptana 1.5 for php development. I'm looking for recommendations on what new ide's to look into. I haven't been programming in php for the last year or two. The biggest things I need are subversion integration, and the ability to sync via sftp. I'd like code completion and such as well. A built in debugger is a nicety, but not necessary. I'd like to stick with open source if possible.

I've been struggling to get pdt working. The naming conventions with eclipse confuse me and as such I've had trouble getting subversion and sftp working with it. I'd be happy with PDT if I could get it working correctly, but I'm open to other ides as well though.

What do you guys recommend? Should I keep trying to work with PDT? If so, any advice on what plugins to use?

Thanks All.

-Kevin

I use the eclipse pdt all-in-one download from zend. It worked fine 'out of the box', and with the addition of the subversion plugin it sync'd right up with my svn server in-house. With minor fiddling the zend debugger works to debug on the web server. I've never used sftp with eclipse though.
