PHP IDE Features

[nelsons]

Am reviewing IDEs and am seeking comments, observations, and suggestions for choosing one (paid or freeware).

I like the idea of being able to quickly run a script, without ftping it to the server, so an increase in coding speed is fairly obvious.

Anyone have suggestions for an IDE? Is there one that contains mysql integrated?

Reviewing nusphere, and maguma right now.

Any suggestions and or comments?

for the local testing i personally would recommend easyphp (www.easyphp.org) if you would like to have an easy out of the box install package that allows you using php and mysql on your local machine.

for the ide i use zend - it has a built in debugger, so you can hit F5 and see the output of your script. Mind you have to have php installed... but the zend installer will do this for you

I also use Zend it also has code analyzer, code profiler(this I love the most) and has a very good code completition. I've tested nusphere and it's even close to Zend Studio

zend only has the analyser and profiler if you pay $300 after the 30-day evaluation. I however am skint, so use personal edition

also zend full version has csv and ftp features, so you can edit files over ftp without having to download then upload
