it does that. I love the internal consistency in the library functions. Is it strtoupper, str_to_upper, stringuppercase who knows?

Grab PHPStorm. It'll save part of your sanity.

mm web development.

if you're on OSX I like coda better, costs the same as PHPStorm but it's OS X only.

PHPStorm is cross platform and ugly.

get oreilly's php pocket reference, try to beat yourself senseless with it, fail, switch to vodka.

success guaranteed.

PHP

(and the O'Reilly book is pretty good)

AdamFrisby: Save my sanity? Don't I actually need some for that to work?

Anywho, anyone up on comparisons of PHPStorm with Eclipse? /me ignores Joshua's cross-platform bigotry

the two statements weren't connected. it's cross platform. however, it's also very ugly. it's not ugly cos it's cross-platform though.

actually if you want something on both go with PHPStorm, it's what I would use if coda didn't exist.

Ah, good. I've used Eclipse before, but it's a bit of a beast. Might look at Storm though just to bug you.

Eclipse for PHP is OKish, but still kinda blows. It's what I was using before PHPStorm.

Actually that summarises Eclipse in general "It still kinda blows."

I never could get it to work with my choice of editor on Linux, which was the thing that ruined it for me.

/me digs through the PHPStorm documentation online...

I'm currently using Eclipse actually, but only because it's what the people I'm contracting for are using, i'm finding it a bit unweildy

"PhpStorm is a ***lightweight*** and smart PHP IDE" - Windows download: 70.3 megs.

I love marketing!

Though I guess it's all relative since the version of Eclipse for PHP is twice the size.
