Murray,

Congratulations on learning a new skill! I'm not sure it matters which IDE you use since you will still get to write quite a bit of PHP with either of them, so pick one and go. Clearly the Zend route is going to cause you to create the user interface manually and I see some benefit to that since you really need HTML and Java Script in your programming toolbox eventually anyway, The WebSmart route does a nice job of setting up a very orderly approach to the project, which makes the development cycle faster since it does most of the plumbing for you leaving the business logic for you to insert. I have licenses for and use both of them, when editing PHP code they are about the same until it comes to debugging, there the Zend tool is a bit better.

Bottom line, I'm not sure it matters, pick what you like and do it.

Hi All,

Coming from a RPG background, which one do you think is investing time
and effort in... Websmart php or Zend studio + Zend framework

I have access to Zend server running on Ibm i

No immediate projects I will use this for, just self learning...

Cheers Murray
