Zend Studio when used for IBM i is available at no charge thanks to the IBM partnership with 1 year of support and upgrades. The product will run perpetually but if you upgrade after the 1 year of support there would be a charge. Your call and you have choices!
Studio has an integrated debugger toolbar that allows you to fire up the debugger from within the browser. Pretty cool and works well with IBM i. Not to mention that Zend Studio 8 also debugs JavaScript.

Most remote debugging requires you IP address to be added to an allowed-host list. For the Zend Debugger http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Server-Community-Edition/zend_debugger_-_configuration_directives.htm, for XDebug http://www.xdebug.org/docs/remote.
Thanks, I'm in the allowed host list. The 'test debugger' button in
Eclipse reports success and I can debug a PHP page if I fire off the URL
for the PHP page. I cannot debug a PHP page if I fire off the URL for
the HTML form which as its action, fires off a PHP page.
And, yes, you should use Zend Studio. :-)
Now is not a good time to ask She Who Must Be Obeyed for $300US. Sure I
can download the trial but I'll use up the trial period while I'm still
floundering. At this point in my PHP 'career' I'm pretty darned
productive with Notepad++. Which isn't an advert for Notepad++ but a
declaration that I pretty much stink right now. I don't know what I
don't know yet, and until I get some sort of handle on what it is I need
to learn, I'll be sticking to free tooling.
