I use Eclipse which is identical on Linux and Windows. Go to the eclipse.org site and follow the PHP links. There is an all in one package that makes it pretty easy to install -- all you need is Java.

What, no Mac??!! :lol:

Please, forgive me, but Macs are not very popular in my country - I've seen a Mac once in my life ... and have never even touched one ...
As far as I know Macs aren't popular in Europe (or at least Eastern Europe).

So, I would say to the graphic designers: "GIMP it, baby" ;) Linux on every computer :)

I use gEdit (with a few options turned on) for merb work, and editplus via wine for PHP.

As far as IDE's go, Komodo Edit / IDE both seem decent - and they're based on XULRunner... cross-platform FTW!

No Macs?? They're everywhere here! I'm a visible minority with my Thinkpad, even among programmers.

but to be honest none of these IDE s can compare for example Netbeans for java or even eclipse for java and I have tried the m all but not even elipse could help me using our network shared folders to edit files

I think php is not so rich in IDEs as java is

some weeks age i was a windows user and i was using xp and dreamweaver in order to edit my files some events happened then I hate windowse i as very fast and quick at the code but these week it was my major problem to find a nice editor even editor not an IDE to write codesand web services
I tried :

eclipse
bluefish
scream
gphpedit
emacs
simpleTextEditor
dreamweaver using wine program
kDevelope
.
.
.

but I could not find my nice one to code fast and support network drives samba share drives
but I think Linux is better and im proud of myself to work with it because I was using windows for years and i think it was not mine
my linux is mine

You mean editors aren't able to edit files on mounted samba drives? Unlikely.

yes it already solved to mount smbfs in my pc but the question is why should it be this hard

i think web development or even any development needs a reliable environment to develop freely the best but is not provided by some complexity of linux

but with all of this im starting to like linux after this 1 month using it

This is debatable. Myself, I quite comfortable with *nix development environment, it's those little annoyances that throw me off, like sound demons not being able to auto-detect speaker configuration (it was my own experience with Ubuntu or Debian a year ago).
