I'm currently using notepad++ to develop some website stuff on and off, but I was wondering if there were any decent, free, windows based ones around, which help with code generation and templating etc, such like Visual Studio does with c#/asp.net - has anyone used any and can you recommend me some? Thanks.
Eclipse can do PHP. It's typically what I use. That's mainly coz I'm used to it for my Java development though.
A long time ago when I used to write PHP, Zend studio was my IDE of choice, if I recall correctly it wasn't too pricy, or you could get free trial versions...
Thanks very much for the feedback guys. I've elected to use CakePHP for the rapid development environment, and Notepad++ seems to be good enough for that
