Suggested Mac OS X Leopard dev environment?

I've been trying (not all that successfully) to set up a dev
environment here and would appreciate any wisdom you folks can
provide.

If any of you use OS X for development, could you tell me what your
environment is like (IDE selection, server location, remote/local
debugging, so forth)? What I've got at the moment is Zend Studio and
a Linux-based (separate) development server. Zend has just informed
me that a bug that is a show-stopper for me will not be fixed, so I'm
trying to consider alternatives.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I edit in TextWrangler, manage my files with svnX and run a local copy of
MAMP for testing.

Zend Studio comes with Zend Core.
http://www.epinions.com/content_290447527556

If you install Zend Core, it'll get all the Apache, MySQL, PHP stuff
installed for you.
Then, when you install Zend Studio, you'll have all the IDE stuff you need -
and it'll work.

Unless you have two files in different directories that happen to have
the same name, in which case, it won't. That's the bug that they're
not going to fix.

I'm not aware of that "bug".
Is it documented somewhere, or this just another bourban legend?

Re: Suggested Mac OS X Leopard dev environment?

I have been using Mac for the past 6 month (updated to Leopard
recently). I use Zend IDE, MAMP (for local testing). There might be a
transitional period (get used to OS X).

That's probably the setup I'm going to end up going with (or Neon,
haven't decided yet.) There are some seriously painful workarounds
(and the MAMP distro has its MySQL configured in a supremely stupid
way, without any query cache.)

Still, it boggles me that they're not even going to try to fix the bug
that made me look for alternatives in the first place. Their
suggested solution (I'm not kidding) was "don't use files with the
same name."

Confirmed in a skype chat with one of their support reps earlier
today. It won't be fixed.

I tried to reproduce the error in my own Zend IDE, and could not.

I have *lots* of files in one project that are named "index.php".
I put an error in one, and not the others.
Then I loaded each up - individually, and then all together.

Zend correctly identified the error where it occurred, but not elsewhere.

What am I doing wrong... or, as the case may be, "right".

The problem seems to occur if you fiddle around with the working dir =

(chdir() calls for instance). If you don't it's likely you won't have an=

Oops - I'm not on Mac.
That's what I was doing "right". ;)
