I am trying to create a PHP application using my Ubuntu laptop. However, it’s hard for me to find an IDE that fits my needs. My ideal IDE will have the following features:
- Code Addition
- Create a simple snippet of code assigned to a shortcut key
- Code Organization
- Device testing
- Debugger
Netbeans meets most of these requirements, except that the ability to create fragments is complex. You need to create a module file and then screw it using some XML and make hokey poky to set up a super simple snippet. I tried to create a macro in NetBeans, but it spins javadoc, and I did not understand a way to tell it to simply insert what I type into the macro, and not use all the human support functions. So I get a bunch of pranked code with phpdoc raised.
gPHPEdit is more than what I am looking for to support snippet, but it lacks all the other features that NetBeans does so well.
Any ideas on a great PHP IDE. Since this is a personal project, buying an IDE is not an option.
