php development tools

[JJJ777]

hi all...

i used php and postgresql and FreeBSD as OS.

I need suggestion for my application development tools on:

1)compiler to use ?
2)debugger to use ?
3)tester to use , except jmeter.
4)profiler to use , except apd-profiler.

I found eclipse but mostly for windows so similar like eclipse
if any ?

tq..in advance...

1) There is no need for a PHP compiler. PHP is a scripting language that is interpreted run-time. There are some commercial PHP compilers, but that is only needed if you want to create a stand alone application.
2,3,4:
Zend Studio includes debugger, profiler etc. Have a look at the Zend site

As DRJ478 said, you don't need a compiler, as for a tester, you'll need a webserver such as Apache.

For evewrything else, I use Macromedia Dreamweaver. It highlights the syntax. and even creates certain interactions between forms and databases.

It might be a good place to start.

Dreamweaver can also be used for pretty much any web language so it's worth the money in my opinion.
