phpDesigner is the best thing that happened to web development

I've been using phpDesigner for almost a year now and it's really easy to get into and use.

I work a lot with different CMS-platforms and do adjust them to my needs and phpDesigner makes this child's play. I just recently bought the Portable Edition so I can use the program when I'm not home.

I recommend this to everyone who's into web development, be it a beginner, expert or professional.

What a PHP IDE!

I'm working with this PHP IDE since 3 month and I'm absolutely overwhelmed, what this tool offers at low price. I'm discovering new functions every day (especially the tool panel is a gift :-))

Since version 5.2 it supports PHP5 Keywords, the only think I was missing before. And by now it can easily compete with Zend or Eclipse.

Thanks for this great IDE!
