Best editor/IDE(?) for Javascript / PHP development
Solution 1
Not sure about it being the Visual Studio for PHP but Netbeans is easily the best IDE for PHP i've used.
Solution 2
I feel Komodo Edit is a great tool.
- It supports autocompletion, both from standard library and custom code.
- It can handle multiple language files (such as HTML with PHP tags and some Javascript), with autocompletion for all of them
- Is fully scriptable, in Javascript and Python
- Recognizes a lot of languages
- Is open source
Solution 3
Aptana Studio is a nice product. It also allows you to use the plethora of Eclipse plugins out there.
Solution 4
Zend Studio IMO is the Visual Studio of the PHP world. Pretty good product.
Solution 5
If you're looking for an IDE I would look at Komodo, or Zend Studio. You could also look at InteliJ but that's less PHP / Javascript focused then the others.
Personally I find little if any need for an IDE with TextMate. Everything I need handled is handled. If you drop auto-completion and start memorizing function calls (not a trivial task, but better in the long run) it prepares you more for the situations where you don't have access to all the fancy tools you're accustomed to. When you have a bad server and end up using SSH and VI[M] to fix something you actually can.
