Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP adds 2 new editions to the Flash Builder 4.5 family. The new PHP product edition mirrors the previous Flash Builder editions, offering the same benefits in Premium, with the exception of ColdFusion Builder which is not including in Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP Premium. Note that the price of the new PHP offering is $150 more for Standard and $100 more for Premium. This is a great value for PHP developers. Zend Studio 8 sells for US$299 separately, making this new integrated offering a great value.
