Hi, I have earlier worked on Visual Studio and am pretty much comfortable in using that. But now I have some programming work in PHP. Is there any plug in available that I can install on Visual Studio 2008/2010 and program in PHP/MySQL.
Thanks.

like this? http://www.jcxsoftware.com/
the great thing about this tool is the fact that you can debug your application like you would in any other visual studio project.
It's not free but worth the investement I think.

Wow, I've not seen that one before... I've been using Eclipse, but I'd much prefer a Visual Studio-based IDE if it's any good. Is it?

Commercial you have: Zend Studio wich is pretty powerfull.
Aptana is pretty good too
Of course Eclipse (Zend Studio is built on it). Now free!
Netbeans is lighter but very fast and practical I love it.
There are much lighter editors out there like textedit but if you want something like visual studio Zend/Eclipse is a good bet.
As for pluguins I guess I was wrong and there is http://www.jcxsoftware.com/ as pointed out by Sem Dendoncker. Seems pretty interresting I am downloading the trial now. But I am a cheap and love my free editors.

Isn't Zend Studio built on Eclipse, like Aptana? Anyway, the last version I tested ZS 6.x was terrible - full of bugs. Like it was done without any QA. I'm not sure they improved it much since then. Make sure you test it thoroughly before purchasing.

I am not mad at the downvote but what is bad with my answer? So the other one is more popular so vote for it. I think I posted a perfectly valid opinion offering options that are valid. Anyways.
