So I'm looking for a more robust IDE to develop PHP & MySQL websites. I currently use HTML-Kit. It's a good product, but I'm ready for a change to something more robust.

I think I've narrowed my search to either Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Zend Studio. I've heard good things about both, but I want to get some more opinions before I go out and spend some cold hard cash.

Have you used either or both of these products? If so, what do you think of them? Which do you prefer?

Thanks!

P.S. I'm not completely closed to other ideas. If you think you know of an IDE which rivals these two in developing PHP web sites, then let me know.

I'd recommend to completely separate PHP and HTML and use:
a) a text editor to edit your PHP code.
b) Dreamweaver to edit your HTML templates.
