What is the best PHP developer setup for Windows 7 64bit? I just purchased PhpStorm and what to get a developer env setup on my Win 7 laptop.

I've used http://zwamp.sourceforge.net/ before. It's pretty simple to set up. Includes apache, php, mysql, perl, etc.

Perhaps I'm oldschool, but the easiest I've found yet is http://www.wampserver.com

My personal editor of choice is notepad++ for quick stuff, and Netbeans for more involved code.

While I was a longtime phpMyAdmin (or command line) person, having played with Navicat, I'm officially hooked. Though I do have to give props for MySql Workbench too. You just can't beat free.

My current setup is to run eclipse php helios on my pc running win7 and have another pc (or you can have a virtual machine) running ubuntu server 10.04 running all my php/mysql/apache/solr stuff.

For mysql editing I use phpmyadmin (running on the ubuntu machine) and heidi sql (running on my local machine)
