What is the best PHP developer setup for Windows 7 64bit?

Question

What is the best PHP developer setup for Windows 7 64bit? I just purchased PhpStorm and what to get a developer env setup on my Win 7 laptop.

Answer 1

I've used http://zwamp.sourceforge.net/ before. It's pretty simple to set up. Includes apache, php, mysql, perl, etc.

Answer 2

Perhaps I'm oldschool, but the easiest I've found yet is http://www.wampserver.com

My personal editor of choice is notepad++ for quick stuff, and Netbeans for more involved code.

While I was a longtime phpMyAdmin (or command line) person, having played with Navicat , I'm officially hooked. Though I do have to give props for MySql Workbench too. You just can't beat free.

Answer 3

My current setup is to run eclipse php helios on my pc running win7 and have another pc (or you can have a virtual machine) running ubuntu server 10.04 running all my php/mysql/apache/solr stuff.

For mysql editing I use phpmyadmin (running on the ubuntu machine) and heidi sql (running on my local machine)

Answer 4

HeidiSQL是一个很棒的MySQL开源/免费工具，您可能需要检查一下。
