[DUG] PHP setup (was Web development)

[Robert Martin]

Hi

I have been following the thread with much interest.  We use PHP becuase 
it is...

1) platform independent
2) widely supported by ISPs and support
3) Simple, fast and effective
4) Used by other products we support


Up until recently we have been making minor modifications to existing 
products OR simple internal systems.  We have just use Notepad++ to do 
this work.

Now we are about to embark on a major new system (a web service, not a 
web site).  What dev platform would people recommend.  No one has 
mentioned Eclipse, Aptana Studio which sounds good but seems aimed at 
Ruby On Rails more than PHP.  Does anyone know if it does code 
completion and debugging of PHP (it says it does for RoR).

Still love Delphi but PHP seems to be the way to go for web dev.


Cheers
Rob
