[thelist] best PHP IDE program?

[Nan]

Evolters,
Can you tell me which PHP editor you think is the best? I looked at Zend, it
is expensive but maybe worth it. I am also looking at EnginSite.  I searched
Evolt for a discussion of PHP IDE programs, and only found one article on
Zend that was about 4 years old.
I want to be able to talk to the MySQL DB tables that are on the website I
am working on, if that is possible.
TIA,
Nan
