Hi
I would like to learn PHP.
But I can't seam to find the proper IDE so I can learn Build and debug websites.
Does anyone know an Express version or free trial that I could download.
Thanks in advance.

Best platform to test - get a cheap/free web host, turn on error reporting, use eclipse …

Best platform to test - get a cheap/free web host, turn on error reporting, use eclipse or netbeans, upload and test. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Eclipse, Netbeans, Aptana are all pretty good.
Notepad++ is a decent enough general editor.
