php IDE for MacOS X

| I'm looking for a good IDE for editing php files in a MacOS X environment (PPC) but when searching sourceforge I found nothing for that platform. Do you know any good programs I could use for that. I don't need much. Just one in which I can find lines back quickly (textwrangler for example doesn't use line numbers which gives me a hard time finding errors back) and a syntax highlight. I don't need much more than that. I'd be really grateful when you could get me one... |

| Tric, TextWrangler -does- support line numbers. Open the TextWrangler/Preferences menu, then select "Text Status Display". There, check "Show line numbers". Voila. Command-J or Search/Go to Line... lets you navigate to a line in the text. It should do syntax highlighting for PHP by default. |
| ||
| I'll sort that out. But Textwrangler and I have never been good friends. Especially the search feature malfunctions. It NEVER finds what I'm looking for. This had forced me serveral times to use a plain text editor to do the job (which could find EVERYTHING I was looking for in the same source file). So cut short, I wanna get rid of that, and I'm looking for a good alternative. |

| Hmmm... Eclipse works very well on Macs, and you can try PHPEclipse: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57621 Or you can use Apple's Xcode: http://developer.apple.com/internet/scripting/phpappledevtools.html |

| Eclipse gets my vote, I use it at work and it's very good. |
| ||
| Eclipse here :-) Used it to develop a few online tools in the office. |
| ||
| Hmmm.... I tried to open a php file in Eclipse ending up that it opened TextWrangler to do the job.... |
| ||
| You need to tell eclipse what to do with a particular file type. If the default is "System" it will use whatever is your system default editor - like TextWrangler, for example. Right-clicking on a file and looking at Open With should give you an idea of the options available. |

| Thanks... I'll try that out... |

| Not very succesful so far.... I really need to dig this out, I suppose... |
