I voted for DWMX, mainly because thats the only one in your list that I have used.

SA, you should try ZDE(Zend Development Environment).

[wildteen88]

Yes I voted for good old Dreamweaver!

I have used Zend Studio before (the free 30 day beta for the new Zend Studio) and I quite enjoyed it, but I bought Macromedia Studio MX 2004. So I wasn't going to fork on purchasing another editor lol!

Dreamweavers my pal! I do everythink in Dreamweaver.

I've just put the eval of ZDE on download, I'l give it a go. Hopefully I don't like it as much as, or more than, DWMX04 - That cost enough as it is!

[briandude]

did u ever use Maguma Workbench?

i think u guys should give it a shot.

it has excellent features like ClassBrowser, FileManager,RemoteBrowser (supporting both FTP and SFTP),FunctionList(list of PHP functions and user defined function),CVSManager,Workspace (for project),Snippets,XDebug etc. u can use ClassWizard, HTML Tidy,AutoCompletion within this product for fast scripting.

the product is very much stable,easy to use ..... excellent drag and drop features for both text and file has been incorporated within this product.

u can visit the community and forum of the site Maguma

How much does it cost? I took a look at the site but couldn't find any information on pricing...

£47.81 for me then, thats not a bad price I guess, in comparison to the others. I shall also give their trial version a go.

I like using Komodo personal edition ($30 USD) for pretty much the same reasons briandude wrote about for Maguma. I tried Maguma and found it buggy; I couldn't get their debugger to work, and just found it overall clumsy. I can't remember what version I tried.

Actually, I tried lots of the free ones and the only one where the debugger worked for me was the one incorporated in Komodo.

Zend Studio have just introduced version 4 that might be worth having a look at. I didn't like their earlier versions.

The PHP Designer 2005 is a free one that I haven't tried but some members are and they seem to like it.

I couldn't get the Eclipse to install and work, but I had talked to someone who uses it and is happy. However, I determined that the debugger he was using with Eclipse was interfering with the use of custom session handlers (during debugging).

Komodo is pretty sluggish man, workbench is far better. The debugger works fine.

It's really a matter of opinion. I have version 3.1.0 and I don't think it's sluggish. It's what ever the individual person likes. I always recommend to people that you try and use the product on a trial basis before you buy it. Use whatever appeals to you.

toplay, u should give the ZDE 4.0 a try, it has been greatly improved.

Well, when I have the money for $99 or $299 I might. But at the moment I don't see the need or an advantage to switch. I'm happy with my $30 Komodo purchase for right now.

PHP designer 2005 is great. I've not downloaded the zend enviroment but, from the screenshots of it, it seems to do pretty much the same things, and for free!
