Hi.
I'm a MS .Net developer with an opportunity to work on a PHP/Mysql/Apache project and I need an editor that works.
I've downloaded and tried PHPEdit, PHP Coder, PHP Designer 2005 and some others and NONE have worked. For whatever reason, each has a major problem that I was able to identify on their website's support forums.
So, I would like to hear from veteran PHP developers about their choice of editor.
Freeware, Shareware, $$$... doesn't matter, I just need a working editor that I can integrate a debugger.
I'm curently developing on MS XP pro.
TIA
Rocko
Need a PHP editor with debugger. Any suggestions?

Look up a few threads, you'll see "What's your favourite PHP Editor?" 
Zend is the only one I know of with a "decent" debugger..

Xdebug is highly recommended.
I use it for script profiling rather than debugging. I don't need to debug: I use SimpleTest.
EditPlus is a nice little editor - sorry don't have the link to hand.

Thanks. I did do a search before I posted and looked at http://www.php-editors.com/ and found many users liked editors that I couldn't get to work.feyd wrote:Look up a few threads, you'll see "What's your favourite PHP Editor?"

I went with Zend after looking at 5 others including PHP Designer, PHPEdit, etc.
For the record, .Net developers and users of Visual Studio would probably be more accustomed to use a product like Zend Studio than any other that I found.
Thanks again for your help!
I'm using Komodo - supports a wide variety of languages, has CVS support, excellent code-highlighting, debugging etc.
