IDE for PHP development?

Question

PHP

Hello, dear habra community!
I'm sure there are a lot of PHP developers here, so I'm asking for advice on an IDE for Windows. Please do not breed holivars and do not offer Notepad ++ (and I use it now, and you can’t call it an IDE). I know that there are Eclipse and NetBeans, but I would like to know the opinion of experienced people who can not only advise the IDE, but still write a couple of arguments in favor of choosing one or another environment. Thanks for the advice.

Answer 1

NetBeans

Answer 3

There are not so many of them:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments#PHP We
immediately discard everything that was last updated before 2010. - unsupported software in the furnace.
IDE without a debugger is also nonsense - we cross it out.
Linux-only cross out.
All sorts of miserable Geany and html-kits - everything is already visible from the screenshots and sites, they can be used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.
Remain Eclipse-based: Aptana, PDT, PHPEclipse, Zend - all have common shortcomings and are generally similar, netbeans and PHPStorm.
Putting three softins and getting acquainted is no longer difficult, it seems.

Answer 4

NetBeans - a niche in it for a long time, very convenient

Answer 5

Some programmers want all sorts of "cool" IDEs. I prefer the simplicity and speed of Vim (linux) Notepad++ (Linux & Win)

Answer 6

+1 for PhpStorm from JetBrains
as a minimum Notepad++ and Vim have no features that are critical for me
1) quick search in the project
2) php/html/css syntax error highlighting

Answer 7

netbins if necessary for free and angrily)

Answer 8

I tried a few, but at one time I settled on Eclips, but due to gluttony and glitches I switched to NetBeans
. The latter has a slightly better project structure (which are actually subprojects or libraries or even modules / plugins in the main project) and their association into a group ( which is the project ), but Mylyn on Eclipse is much nicer for fixing bugs, and working on issues from the bug tracker. But if you don’t work with large team projects, then NetBeans is the best, although I got used to it for a week or so.

Answer 9

EclipsePDT. The thing is slow, but rich in functionality. Well, if the project is small or you need to make a few edits to a couple of scripts - vim (it is also available for Windows).

Answer 10

I use netbins. Because I needed a free (the issue of software legality is sometimes important) and multi-platform IDE (now on a Linux working computer) and at the same time it didn’t slow down terribly. Although Netbins is in Java, it works surprisingly fast.

Answer 11

NetBeans for PHP is the best in my opinion.
also, here's a comparison

________________ by the
way, take note if you use this program.
In the service / parameters / general, it is advisable to uncheck the "provide anonymous information",
since the other day, this option threw a fun problem.
for those few hours that Internet access did not work, the program created more than a million files in the local / temp folder.
Moreover, I noticed this only when the computer became very thoughtful, and cleaning up such a volume even from the command line is not an hour's task.

Answer 12

On my machine, NetBeans 7 worked fine at first. With the Internet constantly connected, literally in 3 days I brought the car to a nervous tick. The computer began to slow down terribly ...
... this is with a stone at 3.3 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and an SSD under Windows ...
Demolished it and the computer happily earned in the regular fast mode.

Answer 13

I already unsubscribed somewhere on Habré that I myself use ZendStudio 5.5. I know that the old one could not get used to anything, neither NetBeans, nor Eclipse, nor Zend 6.x

Answer 14

PhpStorm as IDE, N++ as editor.

Answer 15

Komodo IDE
Good design, usability, nothing more. It's a pleasure to work with him, I highly recommend him.

Answer 16

Guys from my former company worked in jEdit. You can try it too. But for me it was a brake.

Answer 17

In my opinion the fastest NuSphere PhpED .
True paid.

Answer 18

PHPStorm

Answer 19

if it's quick and easy, then PHPExpert Editor
if it's cool, then in my opinion it is, as noted above, NetBeans or Eclipse PDT

Answer 20

Geany - cheap and cheerful. Lightweight cross-platform free IDE with support for several popular languages, incl. and PHP. There is a portable version. Supports plugins.

Answer 21

Immediately I apologize for the "necropost".
For me, the top solution was brackets . A bunch of plugins allow you to customize it to your heart's content. Ability to work on FTP with files "directly", the color design can be perverted as you like. Weighs a little (around 51 mb) fast.
In general, for myself, I did not find anything better. I'll leave the link here
