I will probably stay with all three

I was able to create a simple javascript -> php connection to upload a file to the website which will make it easier than using FTP (sometimes). I found out that Aptana can save the php files, but cannot open them back up. I guess it wants to run the file and finds out it can. So I can use smultron for simple better than a text editor editing. I have to keep the Mac stuff around. The next step is connecting to MySql database.
