One should add that PHPStorm is only free if you work on OpenSource projects.

EDIT:
Guys, i'm not sure, why you vote this message down. I'm not responsible for this and i'm not involved with that project at all

Latest NetBeans release causes a lot of problems with CPU and memory consumption. 6.8 and 6.9 RC are good.

I can't find big differences between 6.8 and 6.9 final... however the FTP client of NetBeans 6.9 is MUCH better than before (it uses a tree instead of a table and it can also upload empty folders now).

I tried to use eclipse before, but I find Netbean 6.9 is much better for yii and php

I want to try NB now.

Netbeans 6.9 debugging is so good, try the new annotations feature like @propertie and many more. NetBeans 100%

[binkabir]

interestingly nobody said anytin about zend studio, even though its slow i love it alot,
Nusphere too is pretty good

[Gevik]

Yes, NetBeans is very good. It is the only IDE we have decided to support for the Ext4Yii Framework.

NetBeans IDE is a good choice as well as you can use its code complementation with Yii framework. For debugging, I am using Xdebug. You can use it with Netbeans IDE as well.

I can say that I pretty much tryed out all PHP IDEs out there, free ones (Aptana with PHP, Notepad++, etc) and payed ones (the ones i could find a crack for xD including Windows and Mac ones, such as PHP Designer/E-texteditor and Textmate,etc).

And the best I found thus far is Netbeans, hands down the best one.

For me, a nice coding environment right now is, Netbeans + nice cold afternoon in my confortable room + can of Redbull (so i dont fall asleep) + Yii + Doctrine + Compass.

Only thing that beats that is not having to work at all xD

Wow...I don't have a Mac but I was blown away by screencasts of Textmate. Will give Netbeans a shot. Oh yes, thanks also for mentioning Compass & Doctrine. Will dive in buddy

Cheers

Currently I use Netbeans, which I believe is the best choice for php development in Linux.

I also used: Komodo, Aptana, Eclipse.

Yes, you can as "true" linux guy use vim/emacs with plugins. But I'm fully satisfied with Netbeans at this time.

Netbeans + xdebug are pretty good both.

Now i am wondering how Netbeans + xdebug work! i tried all the options as described by netbeans & xDebug but i couldn't get it working.

i am using NB 6.9.1 WAMP 2.1

this is my php.ini config. i tried putting it in both at the php folder and apache folder.

; XDEBUG Extension

zend_extension = "D:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.5/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll"

[xdebug]
xdebug.remote_enable = on
xdebug.profiler_enable = off
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = off
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "D:/wamp/tmp"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.remote_handler = dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.137.2


any clue!

[Rodrigo Coelho]

I used EditPad, then Dreamweaver for a short period, then checked Expression Web out, went to Eclipse and now I am totally satisfied with NetBeans.
But xdebug never worked with NetBeans here

[alexdavis]

i find netbeans easier to use

[alexdavis]

how different is netbeans comapred to dreamweaver
