Netbeans macosx
Using a real IDE to develop can be useful. As in Java, you can benefit from autocompletion, debugging, unit testing, etc... Having coded php with simple text editors (notepad++, textwrangler) and IDE (netbeans and eclipse), I can tell you, it is worth the time investmed to switch.
Eclipse used to have the best php environment but zend got involved in the project and "killed" the baby. Now, the only reliable and flexible free IDE that does Php is Netbeans. I use v7.0.1 : http://netbeans.org/. Php support is native with the full version and there is a php only version (38MB)
For mac, MAMP is easy! It includes apache, mysql and php + debug and caching tools : http://www.mamp.info/. Great to save some time.
- Install Netbeans http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
- Install MAMP http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html
- Configure MAMP/NetBeans http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/configure-php-environment-mac-os.html (a bit long but needs to be done)
