I use dreamweaver to write PHP (used to, haven't written in a while and the trial is expired :P)
For testing I use wampserver . It's pretty usefull, you can to put it online let others see what you made. To you can work offline (that only you can acces it) for testing purposes.

I always install Apache on my machines, so I guess I'm hardly ever "offline" in that regard.

I've got PHP installed on a Server 2003 box running IIS on my home network. On my laptop, I have EasyPHP, and despite having some parts in French, it's been fairly easy to use. I've got extra debug options turned on for PHP on EasyPHP, so hopefully I can catch $Isablond != $Isablonde before I go bald at 40 from pulling my hair out!

For development I have WAMP installed on one machine, and XAMPP on another. For the actual PHP code I use EditPadPro. For debugging Zend.

For typing up PHP (and other languages too) I use notepad++. A guy in my class found it. Best thing is that it's a free application! No trial periods! :)

I am using portableWebAp which is a package with php, database and apache server to test and run my php coding. As for writing the php coding, I am using macromedia dreamweaver.

[hooray]

I use dreamweaver for all coding: html, css, javascript, php, sql and i use XAMPP for local testing. i have found it to be very easy to use, with the exception that i have to have 2 command windows open in the background all the time. it does have phpmyadmin built in though, so databases have never been easier!!

I used to use an old version of Dreamweaver (MX, I think) and do all my testing online. I tried to set up apache, php and mysql on my local windows machine, but I had a bit of trouble and just said the hell with it.

However, a month or two ago I wiped one of my machines clean and put Ubuntu Linux on it. Best choice I ever made.

Now I've got apache, mysql, and php installed on a local server. I use that for all script development/testing now. Installation was a cinch, btw - about five minutes with the package manager and a few minutes tweaking the config files was all it took to get everything up and running.

As for actual coding, I use Quanta Plus. I tried Notepad++ before on my Windows machine, and it was ok... but I like the fact that Quanta Plus has many of the project capabilities that Dreamweaver does. For example, I can edit a whole bunch of local files and then batch-upload the modified files to the server.

Best of all, it's free... good old Linux.

I use dreamweaver CS3 for typing the dumb code :p

and WAMP (wampserver.co m) for in windows,

and since i'm in dualboot Win Xp en Ubuntu, i use XAMPP for linux to test in Ubuntu.

btw, Ubuntu is there to try for all, it's free save and fast ^^ (sorry, I can't keep my mouth shut about ubuntu :D)

[fatihpiristine]
