Version: phpDesigner 5.3
"Fast PHP Integrated Development Environment"
Pros: Edit, debug, analyze, and upload projects from one streamlined interface. This IDE handles far more than PHP, it's an awesome tool for HTML, MySQL, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, Java, C#, Perl, Python and Ruby.
PHP Designer 2007 Professional has code completion for PHP, HTML, and CSS. Also features code explorer and code tip.
If you've tried all the other IDE's, then download PHPD 2007 Professional and you'll see why I love this app!
Cons: The built-in FTP client could use more options, and I'd like to be able to ensconce blocks of finished HTML markup with tags, but I still can't recommend this product highly enough.

"Seems to be very powerful and well configurable!"
Pros: It has manual or automatic syntax highlighting, that can be customized. Installs quickly, start quickly. I might consider using it since PHPedit became commercial.
Cons: still I miss some functions of HTMLEdit, like CRTL+Umlaut keys to produce the umlauts on the fly...
The syntax highlighting does NOT work like this: When the cursor is in PHP code, the HTML is grayed :(

Version: phpDesigner 3.6
Pros: Truth is, a lot of what this program does is beyond my scope of knowledge, although I'm gradually assimilating it. Even so, it's obvious this is a very well-conceived piece of software that integrates a range of capabilities in a convenient package.
Cons: I'd probably have to know a lot more to find anything wrong.

"It's so good that it's hard to believe it's free!"
Pros: For me, PHP Designer 2005 is the perfect blend of a full-featured IDE with the ability to also do the quick'n'dirty without being scolded by the software. I can do with this what took two programs previously, and it's just a joy to work with. There's something here for everyone from beginner to advanced coder. It's bulletproof, full-functioned, and powerful.
Cons: With a comprehensive Help System, this would get a 5-star rating.
