Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would post this up in case anyone else is running into the same problems I had with the above configuration.
Since PhpEd is the only app that I cannot live without that does not have a OS X version, I have managed to get it running nicely with CrossOver, though I am sure that Wine users will get the same benefits as me.
Installing the app was a breeze, but when Firing it up I was getting "Debugger failed to load, please reinstall" error messages - to fix this, simply copy over
MSVCP60.dll from a windows install somewhere and add it to your "\Windows\system32\" folder in your windows bottle
I hope this info saves some frustrations for someone!
Cheers
Boxie
