Best PhP IDE?!

PHPStorm is definitely the one to use although you can get by for free with using another Jetbrains IDE, they still do the basic syntax highlighting and stuff.

i still prefer Sublime because of it's simplicity and easy on my desktop .

I was using Sublime but I'm using VSC from several years and I prefer it but, finally, it's a personal choice.

visual studio code is very nice. YOu don't need a full IDE I don't think...

I would go with PhpStorm for sure If my device is powerful enough to handle it. Otherwise for a potato device, I would go with Sublime. Both of these are highly customizable, has great community to provide various plugins packages.
I work with Laravel and CI so I go with PhpStorm and for frontend I use Webstorm too.

PHPStorm for IDE. Sublime for quick text editing.

I've only used PHPStorm and SublimeText but you can also use Notepad++. The first two you need to pay for but if you are a student then you can probably get PHPStorm for free. I'm only a beginner so there might be a better choice out there but I can vouch for PHPStorm.

I love PHPStorm it is the best IDE ive used for a long time, i tried every single one but then i settled with PHPStorm its just like its made for it xd

I also use Sublime - it's simple and to me, looks nice. Personally, I don't think IDE / text editor is worth spending a huge amount of time thinking about. You can write good code with anything; I have a colleague who just uses nano for everything.

Personally I use VIM, IDE's seem to complicate a lot of things
