I have been using PHPEclipse for quite some time. I have used the Eclipse Java debugger and was impressed with how much debugging time it saved. However, when I tried to get the debugger working in PHPEclipse, I ran into some problems. This might have something to do with using the latest version of Eclipse, but I never spent the time to figure it all out. I had some spare time today, and decided to try out the Eclipse PHP IDE.
