PHP IDE

in

I struggled for years trying to find a good open source PHP IDE (Integrated Development Environment)  that was absolutely free and that worked.  This tutorial will walk you through setting up a completely free Open Source PHP IDE (Integrated Development Environment) from the ground up beginning with the OS (Operating System) and ending with you debugging PHP code.

Keep in mind that you are building an entire development environment and this may take some time.  To begin working imediately, consider purchasing a virtual appliance with all this software installed and ready to go, plus you get a full year of updates.  Please contact us for more information on the virtual machines.
