Product Platform: MacOSX
Used Product For: Less than a month
I realize that eclipse is first and foremost a Java development environment. However, in my desperate quest for a decent PHP IDE (Zend is just too expensive... and....well, uhm... I can't find any recent serials) I tried it with a couple of the PHP environments that are available for it. My initial impression (and second and third impressions) was that it just doesn't cut it for use with PHP. I have used Zend in the past and found it to be fantastic. Eclipse is not (for PHP).

Yeah, at best this should have been a comment, not a rating. Try TextWrangler with PHPfi. Rate thoseMonday, April 04 2005 @ 06:01 AM PDT

For this matter, for solid editing if you are good with PHP and have an external debugger (Assuming your projects are that complex you need one) you can use TextMate. It's the best all-around editor, but not so much IDE, which is probably why you sought Eclipse. Might want to try out Komodo instead, it's really on the forefront for cross-platform web 2.0 technology development. It has a Javascript Firefox debugger, Subversion/CVS/Perforce support, Ruby on Rails support, PHP, TCL, Python, and Perl support.Monday, July 02 2007 @ 05:05 AM PDT
Great for JAVA. Not so great for PHP - Guido
Why do rate a Java IDE and Plugin-Management system for the lack of a PHP plugin? Seems a little odd ...Reply to This
