Hi everyone, I have just tested Netbeans on a more complex project (lots of separate class files, advanced PHP functionality etc etc) and it worked fine.
One question - is there anything equivalent to the Zend firefox toolbar where you can click on a button on your webpage and then click on debug which will send you through to the IDE with all the SESSION, POST variables etc set apropriately to the context of your button click? I found that an extremely useful feature. I have come across something that links firefox and eclipse: http://ajaxian.com/archives/fireclipse-debug-from-ff-straight-into-eclipse http://fireclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fireclipse/trunk/FireclipseDocumentation/screenshots.htm but I am hoping to stay with netbeans now.
