EasyPHP suitable for development environment?

Question

I'm trying to start php development for facebook applications. I have already had some problems configuring PHP and Apache.

Today I found a tool called EasyPHP. Is it recommended to use this tool for developing php websites and in particular facebook applications?

EasyPHP is a perfectly good solution as far as I'm aware, but I've never used it myself so I couldn't recommend it. I use XAMPP, but it's all down to personal preference.

It's probably worth taking a look at this question on SO, or this Wiki article comparing WAMPs.

xampp

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.

This is an answer to using EasyPHP for development? – Jared Farrish Dec 12 '11 at 12:56
@Jared would you rather the answer just said 'No'? – Connell Dec 12 '11 at 12:58
What's wrong with it? I've only heard of EasyPHP, so is it not suitable for web development? – Jared Farrish Dec 12 '11 at 12:59

Visual-AMP for Windows, Green portable, requires no installation. Stop related services that are running the program, you can move the directory. – phper111 Sep 06 '13 at 11:37

Is there something about EasyPHP that makes it a poor choice (this is what the question concerns)? – Jared Farrish Dec 12 '11 at 12:56

WAMP, MySQL and pretty much any IDE. Just follow the online instructions. WAMP includes all the tools and extensions you'll need without needing to mess around with config files
