How to remote debug my application with an IDE?

What's the simplest IDE I can use to create a web application in PHP and MySQL?

  • I am planning to create a web application and also create a mobile version of the same later. I am familiar with php and mysql. What do you recommend.

  • Answer:

    phpStorm is by far the best IDE I have used. I was previously an Eclipse user but phpStorm converted me. Mainly for its speed of use and excellent versioning support. It comes from a good pedigree.

I recommend Sublime Text http://www.sublimetext.com/ Edit: I changed to phpstorm because it has allot of good features in it that sublimetext doesn't. Also sublimetext would get bloated with plugins to be comparable to phpstorm.

Textmate, and Pro Sequel always does the job.  Sometimes I use NetBeans.

Notepad ++ always.... awesome features compared to others....

Sublime Text 2 is replacing Notepad++ (which was once the best lightweight IDE), Sublime Text 2 has a nice interface, is lightweight, has many plugins/skins/ and can use TextMate Bundles/Themes. It's the TextMate for Windows. {Snippets are there too.}

If you are new to language would suggest those IDE which wan't auto complete your code or give suggestion: So better go with Notepad++ (Will help you on learning this language and to know its library on hand) If you want to build fast paced application would suggest Netbeans with PHP plugins, and its even lighter than other IDE available like Eclipse.

I Googled around again and there are lots of debates on which is the best.  I would suggest going with something consistent across your projects, so you don't have to relearn.  Given that you're going to be looking at mobile development (presumably Android) down the line, I would suggest jumping onto Eclipse.  Check out what framework you want to use (e.g. CakePHP, CodeIgnitor) and if there are plugins or patterns to follow when using Eclipse.

IDE are never simple, you probably asking for code editors, which your "Answer wiki" also says. Sublime Text 2 can be the BEST if you are opening TOO  many tasks simultaneously , like photoshop, android development eclipse, 100+ tabs on chrome/firefox. there are good IDE's that I like, but they are kinda heavy so I have stopped using them, eg phpStorm, Netbeans . They don't add much value to working environment other than adding function templates, html tags etc. But Sublime text also do it very well!!
