The bottom line is that when you are at work, time is money/productivity, and CodeLobster's PHP debugger is guaranteed to save considerable amounts of time (unless you write prefect code - haha)

The interactive PHP debugger contains all of the information that you would get when debugging a compiled language like C or C++, even though PHP is a scripted language. It is invaluable for finding the root cause of difficult bugs, and because it is so easy to use it is can lead you to a solution with simple bugs also, due to the limitations of print-style output in a complex client screen scenario. Also, being able to view the fine details of the environment while tracing though code is simply impossible without this type of powerful tool. It pays for itself very quickly, in terms of time saved. Scope/'stack' is preserved for breakpoints/tracing.

I could not find a way to display larger data items easily in their entirety (that might be my bad for not finding it ?).

Excellent program with many customizations, one of the best. Very simple to install and use.I also found a very professional team that responds quickly to emails.

The possibility of "programming" it by adding new personalized features is missing.

I was using Codelobster for quite a while for PHP development projects on Joomla and Drupal, as well as for frameworks such as CodeIgniter.

Codelobster PHP Edition is a pretty stable, feature-rich PHP IDE with support for many frameworks and Content Management Systems. It provides effective debugging with in-built database connections and server integration. It is also quite handy in mapping out PHP and HTML files.

This IDE could definitely use a UI update. Its UI is quite outdated and doesn't look so good when you stack it up against other modern IDEs.

Overall, I have enjoyed using Codelobster IDE. It has most of the features you are looking for as a developer. There is also support for other languages besides PHP, so that is a nice bonus.

Codelobster IDE has a wide assortment of PHP plugins built in, which makes setting up a new project very quick and easy. If you are working with a PHP Framework, Codelobster supports it.

The UI can be a little clunky and slow, but this does not deter from the overall experience with the software. Loading files remotely can be a little slow, but nothing too worry about.

It makes programming much easier since we can write code faster, which allows us to reduce project delivery times.

It is one of the most popular code editors among programmers, its visual interface is simple, easy to read and understand. The function of autocompletado is very good, we can write code for PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS and others with great fluency, in addition the editor highlights the respective functions of each programming language which allows to accelerate the work and avoid errors. This editor is very easy to install and does not weigh as much as other similar ones. We can also download additional add-ons for different programming languages.

I like this editor, I just think that they should improve their visual interface with a more innovative design.
