I use a combination of VS.PHP which is a add on for Visual Studio .Net and Firebug all the time. VS.net is good because you can step through PHP code as you run it in debug mode and check variable values etc in real time as you would with C# or VB .Net. Eclipse with PDT for PHP development has a number of add-ons that are good for coding and debug too but I haven't had a decent play with it yet but I know a couple of PHP developers who use it. I did some development with a program called CodeCharge this year but there was no real debug functionality in the IDE and I had a little bit of a play with Delphi's Code Gear for PHP but I didn't have the time to go through a down time to learning it to the point it was useful when I looked at it. I am interested to hear what others use too plus to pros and cons.

Why do you think I was there on Monday? ;) I spent all weekend looking at Chrome and might even get round to downloading IE8 for a look. I use Firefox all the time. I confess I just haven't looked at the dev tools in it. I've been fairly happy with just using Notepad++ and just got a copy of WebExpression 2 because I'm used to Frontpage. I've been wanting to set up a tool to debug php - trace, inspect variables, that sort of thing, but I've just not had much luck at finding people who know this stuff and can help.
