I’ve done some PHP projects in the past for a few clients and found it to be a pretty good language and very powerful. I used an application called HTML-Kit?which I think is pretty popular among PHP developers. It has no auto-complete or anything, but it worked better than notepad.
Now I’m all .Net and Visual Studio. Most hard-core Microsoft people I’ve worked with would never dream of touching php. “ASP is better, so why should I even bother trying PHP?” I expect PHP coders have the opposite argument.
However, I found a product that will let you code PHP in Visual Studio call VS.PHP. You can find the link here:

I’m going to have to have a look at this.
Php integration with VS.. That’s cool. So now I’m really not sure whether opensource is going to overtake M$ or vice versa ?
I agree. One environment for everything. I suppose the price of $100 is pretty steep, though.
