Re: eclipse (was: Programming IDE for PHP)

Oh I know there are a lot of options we use Zend for PHP and I just wanted
something for home. The program that seems to be close to Zend is
EasyEclipse PHP. I just don't know a lot about IDE I am to to programming
overall. So I am trying to understand all the features they have such. This
might seem like a stupid question but is Vi and Vim related I use Vi a lot.
