Netbeans 6.5 supports PHP

I just installed Netbeans for PHP.  It has code completion and full support for debugging.  Getting XDebug working with it was a bitch but after seeing it work I’m a believer.

Overall I’ve always liked Netbeans and have used it for many year with Java.  Last year I started using it with Ruby on Rails and now PHP.  I’ve tried Eclipse and similiar tools related to it but always found it to be a little too abstract.  I mean sure I could use it but my heart was never in it.

Netbeans I always find to be more linear in its presentation and execution of development tasks.  Plus you cannot beat the price.
