    PHPEdit is an (IDE) for PHP development. PHPEdit provides a powerful debugger (based on DBG) and profiler, code beautifier, help integration (with PHPDocumentor), real time syntax checker, code completion, code hints and much more.

    The current version is a huge improvement over the previous version (1.x) which I tried out last year. This version is very stable, the older version did have it’s share of stability issues.

    They’ve added an extension API to PHPEdit to allow PHPEdit functionality to be enhance and extend the IDE. Some of the cool extensions available now are:

    1. FTP/sFTP Extension, which allows you to work on files directly from a ftp server
    2. Source Control Extension,which adds CVS and SubVersion support to the IDE.

    But be warned that these extensions are commercial, which means that you’ll have to shell out cash for each one of the extensions.

    The commercial cost of the IDE is 89.00€. They also provide a free personal license for non-commercial use. To get the Personal Licence, you’ll have to register on the site and place a request for your personal license. Each request is personally looked into before they send a license out.
