Mostly I have worked with GWT so PHP for me is still new. I there something like a GUI editor for PHP? for Eclipse? Because with GWT there is a GUI editor to allow designers to develop web application UI graphically.
There is a version of Eclipse that goes with PHP. It is called PDT. Here is the download link. You should download xDebug seperately as well which is need to debug your php application where you can step into code. This is quite powerful.
Netbeans is another GUI that is popular with PHP developer.

I come from a .NET visual studio background and am learning PHP (with CakePHP) using NetBeans.
In visual studio there is a publish option that allows you to publish your application via file system tranfer (essentially just spits out the application in the form that is needed for it to run on a webserver). Is there anything similar in netbeans?
I do all my dev work on the built in PHP webserver, and would like this file system transfer option so I can just copy and paste the files wherever I want to.
I can't just copy the files from my working directory as it contains all the version control meta-data.
I am aware of the FTP and the remote server upload option, but I was hoping for the simpler approach as above.
Maybe the "visual studio approach" as above is not suited for a PHP environment, in that case I could use some pointers/tips!
Heres how to deploy to a remote server using NetBeans https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/remote-hosting-and-ftp-account.html
Like visual studio where we have two section source and design for web programming,
is there any tool in linux where we can perform php web development which gives GUI+Source section for designing?
Something like drag and drop adjustment for GUI part.
PDT for eclipse maybe an option for you. Eclipse runs on PC, Linux, and Mac. Aptana studio has built in support for php and is also available for linux, last but not least netbeans has php dev tools also, Jetbrains WebStorm (its not free), but Aptana is also based on Eclipse but is specifically geared towards web development and has built in support for debugging and as well as built in support for git if that matters to you. I personally don't use netbeans.
I have recently taken the dive into eclipse environment from dreamweaver so I can have more control over my php with debugging etc. I decided to use Pulse to manage my extensions and start with a fresh Eclipse classic version and tailor it to my needs (I felt aptana was too bloated). The only problem I see is I create a new PHP projects and enable javascript and everything works fine but I am seeing PHP autocomplete to help with functions but it is not working for javascript syntax or html for autocomplete. Also I am curious about how jQuery will work in this environment also.
Also any other suggestions to use eclipse for web development would be awesome also. here is a listen of extensions I have installed:
Drupal for eclipse pdt
PHP development tools
Javascript development tools
Eclipse Web developer Tools
This is my first post at this site. I searched alot but couldn't find what i was looking for so i decided to post the question.
Im a php developer. I was using dreamweaver because i like many features of dreamweaver like code/design view, html/css/jquery/javascript code completion within PHP file. The reason why i am switching from dreamweaver that it doest not provide debugging for php.
I installed phpeclipse and found it very promising but its missing many features i really liked in dreamweaver. I managed to install web page editor for design view but code completion for html css etc in php file is not working.
Is it possible to add all these features in phpeclipse? or
Is it possible to find all these feature in some other php IDE other than phpeclipse?
Thanks!
Yes indeed. There are two ways for the above. Netbeans 7.2 comes with a great support for PHP and also has some good plugins. The other way is that you can install apatana studio plugin in eclipse which provides autocompletion in css,html and JavaScript. Both the IDE's are promising. Try to install Apatana Studio on phpeclipse since it comes as a plugin. This would solve your problem. I would strongly suopport Apatana Studio with your existing setup for PHP in eclipse. Here is the link http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download The above mentioned link is the download page.
I used to use netbeans for a while and really liked it.
But now, I wan't to expand my toolbox with Python, and Netbeans dropped support for Django, also Python support seems to suck in NB 7.0.
So I am looking for recommendations on IDE or Text Editor for Windows with support:
Python (possibly with Django)
PHP
HTML, CSS, JavaScript
FTP
GIT & SVN
I know Aptana 3 can do this, is there anything else?
I don't know Vim a lot, but would that be an option?
http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ would be my first choice. JetBrains does a great job with making the editor valuable to you for more than just text entry. The different IDEs JetBrains offers are all basically the same even if they are configured for a slightly different language set.
Eclipse is an option, it has plugins for everything. I've never been much of a fan of Eclipse though. It's really plugable but not a great IDE compared to some of the other options.
EasyEclipse
Well Aptana is built upon eclipse, so you could just use the basic eclipse with all your necessary add ons.
Obviously you'll need Pydev for the python stuff and that has Django integration.
For some reason though I actually prefer netbeans for my php ide.
Tbh just try out a few and see which one you like best.
Eclipse and Visual Studio have plugins for just about everything. Eclipse is free, I think for Visual Studio though you'd have to get the professional version to run plugins...
NetBeans - If you are using 64-bit Windows do not hurry to install updates on 7.0+. 6.* is working fine.
You have ftp and you can set to upload on run of the project or on each save. You can download Python plugin by adding this url. It is not the best but it worked for me.
It is stable engough and powerful, since the eclipses are very buggy to me.
Aptana is currently the eclipse for web projects, and the people who are creating it are also the creators of pydev, so it would be my second choise.
Visual Studio's plugin VC.Php (Paid) is also powerful, because Visual Studio environment is good, but the plugin is buggy, too and sometimes seems to be updated with dalay of new suff, as whole it would be my 3rd choise.
