All,
  The IDE I mentioned using on Windows before it went commercial,
PHPDesigner https://www.mpsoft...­  It seemed slow on
file I/O, but other than that I had no complaints.  It's not an
expensive license, but with all IDE's, I'd recommend you test a few
yourself before you commit.  On Linux I'd recommend giving Bluefish a
whirl https://bluefish.o...­  It's still in early
development but has a lot of promise.  It will run on Windows using
Cygwin, or this project https://code.googl...­.  It also
runs on OSX.  The dev trees are odd to me, stable is 1.0.7, while
unstable is up to 1.3.2.

  Prado is the framework I mentioned that was very Delphi/Pascal'ish.
https://www.prados...­  It appears the developers have gone in a new
direction with Yii https://www.yiifra...­ although prado is still
being developed it seems.  It has been some time since I touched it, but
those looking for event-driven (ala Visual Studio) might be comfortable
with it.

  For database abstraction, adodb https://adodb.sour...­ will
again be familiar to those coming from a VS environment, it uses similar
syntax to ADO/ADO.NET.
