What NuSphere PhpED is

NuSphere PhpED is an integrated development environment for PHP, HTML, CSS, XML, Smarty, XHTML, and other languages. Its editor supports PHP 5.3–8.4 and includes syntax highlighting, code folding, Unicode editing, search, and a diff viewer. The debugger handles local and remote sessions, breakpoints, call-stack and variable inspection, and parallel debugging. A sampling-based Performance Explorer presents timelines, call trees, flame graphs, and stack charts, alongside classic line-level profiling. Deployment options include FTP, FTPS, SSH/SFTP, WebDAV, and Windows Share on local networks. The database client supports SQLite, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and InterBase. Listed integrations include PHPUnit, Tortoise SVN, PHP Documentor, HTML Tidy, and a CVS client. The 14-day PhpED 23.0 trial is fully functional and free. The Personal license costs 81.00 USD once and is for individual developers; Professional costs 129.00 USD once, while Team4 costs 387.00 USD once for four licenses. Professional includes a year of web-based support and major-version upgrades; Personal includes a year of upgrades and updates.
