[sclug] PHP IDE?

[David Newcomb]

I use Eclipse/PHP which can be downloaded from:

http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/

One of the really handy features is remote debug. With a bit
of tweaking you can run your debugger against your web server
remotely, add break points and inspect variables. Just like
a normal debugger!

Regards,
David.
