Can anyone recommend a good PHP IDE that isn't Eclipse?
I do development on WinXP and Ubuntu Linux so something that's cross
platform would be nice but not essential.
The best one I've found so far is PHPEdit from WaterProof software but it
costs 100GBP and it's a little buggy to be charging that sort of money for
in my opinion.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Many recommend Netbeans.
I prefer and only use VIM.

Have a look at the Aptana Studio stand-alone editions. They're free so
you have nothing to lose except disk-space by trying them. Windows and
Linux, 32- and 64-bit versions available IIRC.

Just a little warning: Aptana is based on Eclipse.

Honestly, the issue is complicate. Good IDEs tend to be complicate, slow
and have extremely poor text editors. Simple editors tend to lack basic
features such as the ability to highlight embedded languages. And
complex editors tend the combine the main drawbacks of the other categories.

Some products that are worth trying include:

NetBeans IDE: it's a Java IDE, it's free, it's quite fast for its class
and offers lots of features. Its editor is rather poor.

JetBrains PhpStorm: another Java IDE. It's commercial software. It's
possibly faster and easier than Eclipse.

ActiveState Komodo: it's a multiplatform app written on top of Mozilla's
XUL platform. It's slow in slow computers, quite fast in fast computers.
The "Edit" edition is free but lacks most sexy features.

RapidPHP: it's a Windows app. It's very fast yet it offers many advanced
features. It's commercial but it's cheap.

Codelobster PHP Edition: it's a Windows app. It's commercial software:
you can use it for free but they charge for the plugins (there're
plugins for jQuery, Drupal, CodeIgniter...).

DEV-PHP2: it runs on Windows (not sure about other OSes) and it's open
source.

Aptana, too, is Eclipse-based, so probably not what the OP is looking for.
Although I do not understand why they would deliberately eschew Eclipse, for
I think that PDT, even though it is not as powerful as Zend Studio (which
also is Eclipse-based), is great for PHP development (and so cannot offer
non-Eclipse alternatives).

Thanks for your prompt replies.
I have downloaded netbeans, RapidPHP & Codelobster. So far I've enjoyed
using Codelobster the most although I'll need a couple of hours on each to
make a decent comparison.

The reason I was steering clear of eclipse is it seems rather slow, I have
avoided aptana also. Netbeans looks good but again it's java. It has the
added bonus of running under Win & Linux though. I'll give codelobster a go
through wine and see how it goes.

Again, thanks to all for your input!

Hi, just a warning:
You seem to think that Java equals slow performance.
That is simply not true. It is the number of things and their complexity
that can make an IDE slow. Java itself is bloody fast.

Yes, it did rather slow down my old Athlon 3200+, it's big application.
Fair flies along on the new Core i5 750, though. My main reason for
choosing it was a very complete implementation of Zen-coding (Netbeans is
poor and limited in this respect).

Define "bloody fast". A Java program is much slower than the equivalent
in a compiled language such as C/C++.

Well Jerry, 'bloody fast' means something like 'faster that PHP' in here.

You know as well as I do that it all depends on what kind of test you run.

If you want to see some benchmarks, I like these:
http://kano.net/javabench/
Graphs:
http://kano.net/javabench/data
(a bit old)

Or maybe the article by Lewis & Neumann:
http://scribblethink.org/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html
(a bit old too and also about Fortran, which I barely know, maybe you do.)

Java isn't slow. Maybe a little slower (a few %) than good C(++) code.
That isn't important. Every few months the CPUs get faster, so who cares
about a few percentage?

But this is about a good IDE, and I mainly wanted to tell the OP that
Java (hotspot VM) is doing a good job (fast).
If the IDE is slow it is because it is busy doing complicated stuff, not
because the language it is programmed in (Java) is slow.
Of course, the IDE can also be slow because of poorly programming, but I
don't expect that in Eclipse and Netbeans.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

PS: Please never ask me to define "bloody fast" again. ;-)

Eclipse slow? I have been using it for almost three years now and have
no idea what you mean. Also Eclipse has some VERY nice added features
such as excellent integration with CVS, recovery from local history
(even though that version ino longer appears to be on your file system
-- and this has saved me a couple of times), code comparison with other
versions in CVS, and probably more that I haven't even looked at.

I also use Dreamweaver.

I would like to know what the OP, or either of you, think of as slow in
an IDE? You type at the same speed. You think in between at the same
speed. They all load a file faster than you can sneeze. They all save
files just as fast. Eclipse downloads a whole CVS branch (a couple of
hundred files) from CVS for me in 5-20 over a VPN connection from within
a virtual PC on Windows 7. It uploads my (few) changed files almost
instantaneously.

So, where does this "slow" thing exhibit itself?

Frankly, if the OP is have "speed" issues, I would suggest he add more
memory to his machine or get a faster machine.

PS: I am not a fan of Java. If I am a fan of any programming language it
is first PHP, and Java second.
