Vim as a PHP editor
Matthew Weier O'phinney has posted a great article about using vim as your php editor. Adding mappings to run the file through php linter helps you finding any (syntax)errors while you're working in vim.
Also a project plugin is explained in this article.
Netbeans GIT plugin
Recently I discovered a netbeans edition for php ( Netbeans - a new player on the market ), which seems to work great!
The only thing I was missing was a GIT versioning plugin to clone, commit and update my php files. After a short googling I found a google code project called "nbgit" which provides this functionality.
You can download the 0.3* version at the following site:
http://code.google.com/p/nbgit/
Note - The 0.3 version was the most recent version at the time writing. A new version might already be released.
Cakephp and ACL – how to work with users and groups
Today my webdevelopment collegue Eelco pointed me at an interesting article at the site komunitasweb. The tutorial explains how to work with ACL and how ACL is implemented in CakePHP.
Definitely a must read if you write webapplications in cakephp which need user or group based restrictions

A Minimal PHP MVC framework
This evening I was reading a remarkable article of Rasmus Lerdorf on his blog. The article describes how to build a minimal mvc framework for your own application in php5. Earlier I was shocked by Rasmus his theories, but after reading more of his work I'm quit charmed towards his ideas.Rasmus has a very good theory, but on the other side I think that I don't have to reinvent the wheel again.

Netbeans for php , a new player on the market
On a search to git compatible php editors I stumbled upon the blog of this blog telling about Netbeans ( original java editor ) which now seems to support PHP.
My first reaction was, "oh not another eclipse wannabe". But this turns to be a big mistake!
Netbeans is instead a very neat php editor with a lot of extra helping functions for html as well.
Check it out, it has turned to be my favourite editor within one day!
Preview here : http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/php-editor-screencast.html
UPDATE
While playing around, I must and cannot say anything else, then "THIS ROCKS".
Almost everything is included, from Ajax/Javascript library support ( dojo, scriptaculous, prototype, jquery ) until GIT versioning control, database graphical and text layouts.
jEdit and phpParserPlugin
Last month ( december 2008 ), a new version of the phpParserPlugin was released for jEdit.
For any jEdit users, you can download it using your Plugin manager. If you find any trouble updating the plugin, just uninstall it and install it again ( although that worked for me)
jEdit rocks!

linux php editor with ftp and webdav support
If you have been looking around to get a php editor with ftp and/or webdav support, look no further ( and especially, dont BUY anything! ).It has brought to my attention that the famous Zend Studio has a lot of hot features, like ftp and webdav support. But what are the parts where Zend Studio is build on? Right, the open source package Eclipse and a couple of other eclipse plugins ( which in this case have been made by Zend themselves ). Hot features for me are the ftp and webdav support,.. but can you imagine that these features aren't uniquely provided by Zend only? No they are just plain default plugins which are provided open source by Eclipse themselves too!
As you might feel in the text above, there are other solutions... Open source solutions I mean!
Ok, so how do we create a Zend Studio environment with equal features? It's quit simple:
1) Download the latest Eclipse SDK from eclipse.org
2) Install PDT ( PHP Development Tools) using http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/
3) Install the features you'd like ( such as 'ftp and webdav support') by using the Target Management plugin for eclipse. More info at: http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/
Probably saved you guys or girls quit a few bucks with this
