Eclipse does so you can edit directly off of the server, or click a button that will publish your changes to the ftp server. Does the same thing with SVN.
And its a huge pain to setup and is completely unintuitive.

There's always
http://sftpdrive.com for IDE's that don't have remote file access built in.
It's OK, but a tad slow. I think that's more a property of SFTP though, I've never had fast performance with an SFTP client.

Free version of Komodo came out:
Komodo Edit 4
I use it and recommend it, I find it the BEST multi-platform tool I ever used... beside firefox that is.
Even has "Autocomplete and calltips" and the new version has an autoupdater... THANK GOD!

Dude, I will try it because it is free.
FYI, I am falling more and more in love with EclipsePDT by the day.

Is there any IDE that allows you to view your MySQL databases from within the IDE? Something like the side panel of Visual C++ where you can see your classes and all of their members.. it would be useful to see all of your tables and all of their columns in that way. It would make things easier where you'd otherwise have to open up phpMyAdmin and hunt down information that way.

I know ZendStudio had a database object viewer. I haven't used any others that have made that prominently known.
Of course, I spend a lot of time either in WebYog or at the CLI, so I would personally never user this feature, but I know that at least Zend Studio has offered it in the past.
If you are using Eclipse, I just ran across
this.
EDIT | Actually, the new site for the project is at
http://www.sqlexplorer.org/

Interesting, but ZendStudio looks really expensive ($254 eek).
That Eclipse plugin looks good. I've never used Eclipse much, though.. I tried it out when I was using Fedora Core and that's about it. I might have to try that out later..

FYI, that SQL Explorer plugin kicks butt. The perspective is hot. Just remember to follow the instructions here for adding your MySQL driver to the list of drivers.

I connected by using the host name (without the opening and closing brackets) and NO port and NO database name.

Can someone add eclipse to the poll? It probably didn't support PHP back when this poll was originally created, but deserves to be in the poll.

I choose 'Other...', as I'm using Eclipse with the PDT plug-in.
I use it for about a year now and I can't imagine working with something else. Not specifically because of it PHP support, which is simply satisfying. Debugging is made easier by including some external extensions into the latest PDT version. Zend debugger and Xdebug support are both intergrated (you still need the debugger installed at apache/php level of course).
But a couple of plug-ins makes my development experience complete. Subclipse, FileSync and Mylyn. Subclipse is for subversion intergration and FileSync does automatic deployement of projects to my test server. Mylyn is a great intergrated task manager, which handles local tasks and external issue tracking systems, like Bugzilla, Trac etc.

I switch between
SciTE and Dreamweaver. I use SciTE, because it has an output pane where you can see if the php works (or has errors). Dreamweaver, if there is a lot of HTML in the page.

EmEditoris still the best for me. It's offer nice and simple interface but with huge features.
I recommend it to all

I used htmlkit for years but got tired of the IE preview and all the bulky addons. So i tried notepad++ but didn't lik the coloring sythax. Now I use scite because I like the coloring and its lightweight.
