Hi all,
I am learning to code php as I want to contribute to the community on here that I have taken so much from in the past. I currently write in vb.net and tsql, and have toyed around with C# so I am not totally new to the world of coding, however when I learnt the above I have always had the help of a debugger so I could step through the code and methodically get my head around it.

So I want to do this with VBulletin, but is there a debugger out there that would be suited to what I'm after? And if so, which one should I use? I have had a look around the net and there are a few out there so just wanted to get you guys opinions.

What you are probably looking for is an IDE (as you have previous programming knowledge, I'm sure you know what this means). There are many available "on the market", at varying price points.

Currently, I am using Komodo IDE (and open-source Komodo Edit), which bases itself on the Mozilla codebase (i.e. Firefox). As such, it is quite stable and does what I want. However, there are other IDEs, such as Zend Studio (which I've heard is good), and also phpDesigner (which I feel has gotten a bit bloated/slow).

Excellent cheers for that.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
