Best freeware PHP IDE easy to learn for someone used with VS.net ide

Hi,

Can someone reccomend a good freeware IDE for PHP (with auto-complete,
integrated debugger, etc)
I'm experienced with VS.NET, and I thought to use Eclipse, but I just
read some reviews and saw it is not very straightforward for someone
new to it.

Or maybe I'm just wrong, and I should start with Eclipse?

Thank you

In that case, stick with VS.Net, just get a PHP add-on for it:

http://www.php-compiler.net/

Thanks.
I knew about that, but since it actually integrates the PHP as a NET
language, does it has any drawbacks if I want to develop something
that can run on any other PHP-enabled server, like on linux / apache /
PHP?

Thanks

Yeah - that's a real disappointment there, ain't it?

There's a very simple way to deal with that.
Simply specify in your VS.Net configuration that .PHP files are to be opened
with whatever PHP editor you like.
That way, when you open up a PHP file, it'll come up in that editor, instead
of VS.Net.

Hi,
Not sure what dissapoint do you mean.
The PHP editor within VS NET? Or how PHP runs inside VB.NET IDE
(debugger, environment, whatever)

I meant VS's lack of PHP support.
VS.NET doesn't have a PHP editor, and PHP doesn't run inside VB.NET.
