Depending upon your requirements.
I use an old fashioned text editor with colour syntax highlighting for
PHP (EditPadPro - http://www.editpadpro.com)
If you are looking for an integrated debugging environment, then maybe
Zend is your bag.

Hi Ravi,
> I have Arachnophilia(IDE) and i can write php script using it.Is it
necessary to install ZendStudio-7.0.0-BETA(IDE) to write php script?
My two cents to your question:
It just depends on your programming experience with PHP, the complexity
of the project(s) you work on, the necessity of debugging possibilities,
the abstraction grade of your project (i.e. if you are using OOP with
the use of classes, interfaces, abstraction, inheritance) and some more
factors.
This would be my suggested approach:
* if you are used to use PHP and are skilled, things like notepad,
notepad++, PSPad and the like are enough for smaller projects. They are
quickly installed, don't need project setups, but miss most of the real
IDE's functions.
* if you are skilled and use PHP on a higher level with bigger projects,
I would suggest using Zend Studio (or the also eclipse-based PDT, which
is not commercial). Both provide good tools to organize and document
code, have auto-completion for classes, functions, variables; they
support remote debugging on debuggable servers with xdebug or Zend
debugger on the server side; and a lot more
* if you are not used to PHP and you mainly have to take care of design,
some commercial WYSIWYG tools like Dreamweaver would be better, because
they include complete script packages (i.e. user authentication,
recordset pagination and so on) - this approach would be more
frontend-oriented, because they are based on visual components.
Give us some more info on your background and experience for a better
suggestion.
Regards,
Sascha

You answered your own question. "I have Arachnophilia(IDE) and i can write
php script using it." In case you missed it - no, it's not necessary to
install ZendStudio-7.0.0-BETA(IDE) to write php script, you can use
Arachnophilia(IDE).

Yes you can. It's quite easy.
It involves a few things ...
1 - Add the location of php.exe to the path.
This is normally done by going to the Control Panel -> System ->
Advanced -> Environment Variables.
You can either add it just for you (User variables for xxxx) or
globally (System variables).
If there is no PATH, then add it. If there is a PATH then edit it and
add the location at the end with a ; in front ...
Existing Locations;C:\PHP5
(for example).
2 - Tell Windows that .php files are handled by PHP.EXE
At the command line type ...
ASSOC .php=phpfile
FTYPE phpfile=C:\PHP5\PHP.EXE "%1" %*
3 - Allow PHP files to be auto-executable.
Another environment variable to alter. This time it is PATHEXT. If you
want .PHP to be handled before .BAT then place .PHP before the .BAT.
If not put it at the end.
That should do the trick.

Remember that if you double click a PHP script and it runs, it will
close when it has finished. If you are expecting to see the output on
screen, you'll have to be quick.
php-win.exe is also available. This will not show any results - useful
for scheduled tasks.
Regards,
Richard.
