NetBeans PHP IDE

NetBeans 6.5 will offer support for developing PHP applications. NetBeans 6.5 has reached the Beta milestone, and is available for download from this page. Alternatively, you can download the current (post-beta) development builds of NetBeans 6.5.

There are two download bundles of NetBeans suitable for PHP developers:

  • PHP bundle - contains all functionality required for developing PHP applications, including PHP features, support for JavaScript, HTML and CSS, database integration, versioning features and others - only a 20 MB download!
  • All bundle - contains all NetBeans features, recommended for developers who also need to develop non-PHP applications, such as Java, Ruby, Groovy or C++ apps.

Here are some additional resources related to PHP development with NetBeans:
