I personally recommend the Zend IDE, simply because: 1) Its (more) cross platform 2) A more complete autocompletion. Uses javadoc style documentation to generate function prototypes for which you can then use autocompletion. It also resolves classes and objects. 3) Richer debugger 4) Better integration with other Zend products, if you want to use the encoder, it plugs right into the Zend IDE. 5) I like working with it more, and that's what it all comes down too. The Zend IDE is what I'm more comfortable with (outside of vim and emacs, which I must admit are my primary development tools). -Sterling > Thanks! > > John > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
