There are two types of tools that developers can opt for - an editor, or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as Maguma Workbench.
If you want to code fundamental PHP applications, any standard text editor such as Notepad, would do. But, for the same reason most of us prefer creating documents with a word processor over Notepad, Professional PHP developers always prefer an IDE over a simple editor. It's productivity!
Professional developers acknowledge that there's much more to developing PHP applications than just typing code. When you are a professional developer, the time spent and quality of the work are of great importance. Maguma Workbench provides a clear viable advantage by working with you to deliver your customers neatly documented, bug-free projects—right on time.
Maguma Workbench is premeditated to focus on the requirements of professional PHP developers and enhance their productivity by providing all the tools necessary to develop, debug, deploy and manage complicated PHP applications in a fraction of the time it would take them to work with an editor.
Maguma Workbench allows you to:
Create and edit PHP 4 and PHP 5.
Customize its interface and text editor.
Navigate code easily
Use or create Code Templates.
Search and Replace in Files.
Unlike any editor, Maguma Workbench allows you to:
1.Effortlessly debug your applications. Maguma Workbench 's advanced Debugger reduces code maintenance and expenses by finding problems as soon as they occur.
2.Integrated CVS Manager – Update and commit using CVS Manager. This is the ultimate feature for developers working in tandem.
3.Display and study the hierarchy of the functions, classes, methods, properties and constants in your application.
Maguma Workbench includes dominant features unmatched by any other PHP IDE. For instance, with Maguma Workbench you can:
1. Use code completion for every aspect of PHP. Much like debugging, it's not possible to emphasis enough the importance of code completion. If you migrate from a simple editor with no code completion, you will find that your overall productivity would be as if another developer is working with you simultaneously!
2. Enhance code comprehension with syntax highlighting for PHP 4 & 5, HTML --all at the same time!
3. Seamlessly edit and deploy files on FTP & SFTP servers.
4. Intelligent entry helpers guide you as you create documents and customizable code snippets are available for often used text.
5. It's equipped with Remote Browser facility having both FTP and SFTP (Secure file transfer). You can also use Drag-n-Drop for downloading and uploading files.

7. Support for Windows, Linux platforms.
More to come:
Maguma (
www.maguma.com) has integrated support for the eBay Accelerator Toolkit for PHP (PHP-AT) in their PHP IDE Maguma Workbench.
Maguma will publish a new module, the PHP AT of eBay. This new module will be integrated in the modular PHP IDE, Maguma Workbench.
Soon, there will be support available for Mac OS.
Finally, if you are dealing with serious PHP development, there is no comparison between an ordinary PHP editor and a professional tool such as Maguma Workbench that lets you develop, debug, deploy and manage your applications quickly and effectively. Step up to Maguma Workbench 2.1.2 and join the league of hundreds of companies and thousands of professional developers who are already using this unique PHP IDE. :huh:
