So, you've reached the point where you're outgrowing your current editor, and are looking for that "next step up" to enhance your code and your scripts. Well, DevShed.com might just have something you'd want to read. Their latest article, Building PHP Applications With Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, goes over the newest version of this powerful Macromedia tool and shows you some of the advantages and disadvantages that lie within.

It's quite a powerful tool, really - and one that's coming into it's own as far as PHP development. Working with your PHP code is still a little "odd" (some features are built in to try to make things as easy as possible for those that aren't used to scripting), but you still get the development tools of Dreamweaver with the access to hack away at your PHP code. They also give you a whole set of resources where you can learn more about PHP and Dreamweaver MX at the end of the article.
