What is your development setup - PHP editor, testing environment, etc?

Hi,

I'm curious what is your website development setup for Linux based websites?

Do you develop/test your PHP scripts and MySQL databases on Windows and then just upload to your Linux server account, or do you develop/test on a Linux machine?

What is your favorite PHP Editor?



Thanks,

Peter

As for editor I use HTML Kit for everything.

As for testing, I have a linux box with Debian on it
which acts as my development environment but also as fileserver, mail/spamassasin, proxy, backup pretty much everything.

Although I need to find a solution for my backups.

Textpad for PHP, Dreamweaver + Photoshop for Web. Upload with Filezilla to server for testing. I've tested locally before, but I always found SOMETHING that would work locally but not on my server, or vice versa, so I gave up.

I currently develop in Motepad(similar to notepad) and run XAMPP. But now have an old computer that I'm going to load a replica setup of my webserver(Redhat/Apache) for testing.
