What is the best PHP integrated development environment?

Aptana studio is developed on top of Eclipse only. It primarily focuses on web development and comes preconfigured with plugins for javascript, CSS etc. whereas Eclipse can be used for web based or desktop applications.

So you can either use Aptana standalone application or install Aptana plugin on your eclipse.

Other popular IDEs that you can look at for php are phpstorm, phpdesigner and netbeans.

What is the best PHP integrated development environment?

I think Eclipse is the best integrated development environment

 

Reason:

 

1.PDT is Good set of PhP develop tools

 

2.You can use xampp, for a test out web server.

 

3.Xdebug  is good. Fully configurable. 

 

4. Its also FOSS. It is written in Java, so that its platform independent.

 

It has CVS built in and SVN as an add on. Plus you can get a zillion plugins, If you're using Windows OS, you also try Notetab.
