Re: PHP IDE for OS X

Can anyone suggest a PHP editor/IDE for OS X other than: - BBEdit (already using it) - Zend Studio (it's Java, not OS X native) What I'm hoping for is: - some form of auto-complete text for functions/constants/etc, - integrated testing/debugging - integration with local install of PHP - anything else that will make my life easier without 'getting in the way'. My guess is it doesn't exist, but it's worth a shot. PLEASE, no "On Windows I use..." or "I just use 'Text Editor X'" -- I'm looking for something more than a basic text editor, and it has to be OS X native (not some ugly, sluggish Java thing). --- Justin French http://indent.com.au

I don't run OSX, so I don't know how easy this is, but it's definately worth the mention. OSX has a unix core. I saw a bit on TechTV saying if you install the developer tools, you can run virtually any *nix app. See these for more info http://developer.apple.com/unix/index.html http://developer.apple.com/unix/toolkits.html http://fink.sourceforge.net/ I saw some tutorials searching google for "run linux apps on Mac" too. That said, you could give Quanta Plus or Bluefish a shot, both are great free linux apps. My personal favorite is Quanta Plus, it contains most of what you mentioned (even auto-completes your variables) On the non-free side, Dreamweaver MX has some decent PHP features, although it's a pricey solution. <mac stab> You should be use to that though! ;) </mac stab> -- Chris Martin Web Developer Open Source & Web Standards Advocate http://www.chriscodes.com/
