Zend Studio - Fast and Easy PHP Development Environment
The major problem that a web developer deals while working with PHP is the hand coding of the script which takes a lot of time. Besides this, much of the time goes in detecting the syntactical and logical errors as in PHP there is no inbuilt debugger.
Zend Studio is a software that is must for every PHP web application builder. This simple software makes programming with PHP as a child's play. With its smart syntax auto completion feature, the things seems to go on really fast, cutting down days into hours and hours into minutes. It allows you to debug your script line by line to detect any errors in your script. Zend Development Environment also allows you to manage your SQL database from itself. You don't need to go to the PHPMyAdmin every time, you wish to make changes in the database. Just connect the database from the ZDE and execute SQL queries directly from it.
Besides this, ZDE also allows you to encode your project so that no one can steal your script or change the copyright information or anything else besides allowing you to sell the script easily in the marketplace without revealing the actual code or the script.
Zend Studio although provides you almost all the tools for PHP development but does not provides you the tools to work with HTML and upload files directly to the server from the software itself just like Dreamweaver. However, Zend Development Environment has all the tools for making PHP scripts development really fast.
