This not only FreeBsd related so I decided to post it here. - Can you comment about what GUI interface do you use (if any) for PHP Development? - Can you comment on what editor do you use for PHP development? (yes i know is a matter of what you like but since I do not use any other that simple notepad looking for better options). I will explain a little further. Actually I am running Freebsd 7.3 on a couple of production servers. No problem. I installed the exact same configuration on a vmware machine on my old laptop and everything is running fine. Both configurations have the same packages and everything. That way I can test before putting under productions and could be able to work even without internet connection. Since I have no previous experience I am using notepad as my simple text editor for php and do ftp the php files to the virtual freebsd machine. I know I can edit directly under the freebsd machine and I have done using ee as my simple editor. I have developed under other languages but now I need to get a new job and I am working hard to became a more than a novice php developer with mysql. Anyway, can you give me your advice on what are my best options to have a GUI interface or a good editor. I have been asking friends also. I friend told me to move to mac and use bbedit with a php extension or something like that. Another told me to get anold product for developing web pages that has its own editor and ready for php. The advantage is that has syntax checking and a help included with php syntax uses, examples, etc. ANother told me to use Eclipse and the last one told me to buy a product that the guys from programmer's paradise that if I am not wrong is a gui for development only under php (problem here is budget since I guess is kind of expensive) As I mentioned I do not have experience and that's why I am asking that. I hope you can share your thoughts and experience. Thanks in advance
