looking for an IDE/Compiler for PHP

Post by davidklonski »

Hi

I am new to PHP and just started writing small programs.
I am using a simple text editor.

The problem is that every now and then I make a stupid syntax
error (for example I forget the $ in a variable) and then the page doesn't load in my browser.

It's a nighmare to find those stupid errors. If I test the code on every change, then maybe I will have a chance of finding an error. But sometimes I will write an entire function, and then the page doesn't load and I have no idea where the syntax problem is.

What I am looking for is a good IDE for web-programming that supports PHP. It will allow me to check the code for syntax errors.

Does anyone know of a good candidate?
I don't mind paying for a good software but a free one is preffered.

thanks
