The main product that Nusphere has created and supports through their forum on this site is PHPEd. A PHP IDE that has a great debugger with many excellent features. Dmitri is the main developer for the software and he is constantly leading out with new features and improvements to the program. If you are or want to start becoming a PHP developer, this ide is a great way to actually step through a php script and see how the program is executed. Can hover over variables and see their values in real time as well as set custom breakpoints based on the evaluation of an expression. ie: $variable=="value" then the program will trigger a breakpoint when that expression evaluates as true.
Check it out.

Michael B. I just re-read my review and realized it might come off as an advertisement for Nusphere. Sorry if that's the feeling anyone got. I really just like the program. I'm not associated with Nusphere in any way.
An alternative is the free and open source Eclipse IDE. I've heard a lot of good things about it, but it doesn't seem to have as many features as does PhpED when it comes to PHP of course. Eclipse is definitely better for other languages. In that regard Eclipse is more robust because it isn't only targeted at editing PHP code.
