什么是PHP开发的最佳ide？ [关闭]

Question

Well I have found similar kind of question on this website and checked the answers to clarify my doubt, but it didn't satisfy me what I am looking for. Many people say phpDesigner or even Notepad++ but I have found these as gr8 editors(even with with auto-completion) but not a complete IDE.

But I want to know if there is a complete visual studio like user friendly IDE where I can drag and drop html controls, ajaxtoolkit controls on html, integrate with mysql database.

is there anything like that available?

Thanks in advance.. (sorry if I am wrong in anywhere)

Eclipse + PHP PDT is a great IDE that will give you code completion, hints about function arguments and much more (just like VisualStudio for C, C++, C#, etc) - this is my personal favorite. Netbeans for PHP is similar solution, favored by many others, some say it's better, some say it's not - I tried to switch to Netbeans but my habits with Eclipse make me most effective with it, so I'm sticking there. Both Eclipse and Netbeans are free and support plugins for many other languages, as well as version control utilities, remote systems access and file diff, debuggers support, html, css and js validation (often goes hand to hand with PHP development) amongst other things.
