Recently I've been looking into various open source PHP development tools, focusing mainly on Xdebug, Phing and SpikePHP Coverage Tools.
Xdebug is an open source package of debugging tools for PHP, and is often called the "swiss army knife tool'' for PHP developers. It provides a number of useful features such as debugging, tracing, profiling and code coverage. It works well on a variety of platforms and there's also third party extensions for it for Eclipse and Firefox.
