Setting up my PHP Web Development Environment

I'm in the process of setting up my PHP web development environment again. This blog will be about the tools, software, hardware and services I use. Right now, I'm looking at using

• Netbeans IDE 6.5 for development. I have been a long-time user of Eclipse but decided it was time for a change to see how Netbeans compares to Eclipse for PHP development.
• Subversion for version control. I never develop without it. Assume that every project will have multiple changes and will need constant updating. With subversion, I can do the work on my desktop and update the production machine with very little effort. Current version I'm using is 1.5.
• XAMPP - Apachefriends PHP/MySQL/Apache2 package for Mac OS X. After a long absence, I'm returning to using their software. I left when they did not update it as quickly as I needed them too. After compiling my own packages for a while, I just thought it was time to go ahead and try them out again.
• Mac OS laptop - stable and fairly problem free.

So, that is the current setup. Additional details will be added when able.
