1. notepad++
easy searching, searching through files, highlighting text, keyboard shortcut for many operations, plugin support: git, (S)FTP, SVN, shell, PHP Remote debugging
2. Eclipse
eclipse can be better in many ways, also very annoying in many ways, but excellent for wide range of plugin support.

Hi Prava and thank for your solution,

you had list down some of IDE for work with PHP.
Could you recommend me which IDE should I use to develop PHP? and why?
How about notepad++ and Other?

Thank for your help.

The most important advantage of using other IDE than Notepad++ is - Having the ability to debug. With Notepad++, need to install plugins to make it a pseudo-IDE. The above IDEs I mentioned help to write good code, and jump around in a project efficiently.

With the above mentioned IDEs, SCM (Source Code Management) has already been installed i.e. CVS, SVN, GIT etc.

Solution 1

See IDE is the best for PHP - Google Search[^]. The 'best' one is the one that you like most, and the only way to find that out is to try them.

Hi Richard and thank for your solution.

you said "the best one is the one that you like most", I acceptable with your solution but I asked this question because for now I am not yet work with web programming and it has so many IDE for PHP that why I want to find the powerful IDE for PHP before I decide to learn PHP.

Richard MacCutchan 27-Apr-16 3:47am

Then please do what I suggested, follow the Google link I provided and do some research into which one you think will best suit your needs. And deciding to learn a new language on the basis of which IDE you think is the most powerful, is not a good decision process.
