Here s the lowdown on Mac IDE s for PHP  NetBeans Free  Plus  the best functionality of all offerings  Includes inline database connections  code completion  syntax checking  color coding  split views etc   Downside  It s a memory hog on the Mac   Be prepared to allow half a gig of memory then you ll need to shut down and restart   Komodo A step above a Text Editor  Does not support database connections or split views  Color coding and syntax checking are there to an extent  The project control on Komodo is very unwieldy and strange compared to the other IDEs   Aptana The perfect solution   Eclipsed based and uses the Aptana PHP plug in  Real time syntax checking  word wrap  drag and drop split views  database connections and a slew of other excellent features   Downside   Not a supported product any more   Aptana Studio 2 0  uses PDT which is a watered down  under-developed  at present  php plug in   Zend Studio - Almost identical to Aptana  except no word wrap and you can t change alot of the php configuration on the MAC apparently due to bugs   Coda Created by Panic  Coda has nice integration with source control and their popular FTP client  transmit  They also have a collaboration feature which is cool for pair-programming    PhpEd with Parallels or Wine  The best IDE for Windows has all the feature you could need and is worth the effort to pass it through either Parallels or Wine   Dreamweaver Good for Javascript HTML CSS  but only marginal for PHP  There is some color coding  but no syntax checking or code completion native to the package  Database connections are supported  and so are split views   I m using NetBeans  which is free  and feature rich  I can deal with the memory issues for a while  but it could be slow coming to the MAC   Cheers  Korky Kathman Senior Partner Entropy Dynamics  LLC

Komodo is wonderful  and it runs on OS X  they have a free version  Komodo Edit    UPDATE from 2015  I ve switched to PHPStorm from Jetbrains  the same folks that built IntelliJ IDEA and Resharper  It s better  Not just better  It s well worth the money
