[Official] Best PHP Editor

 


webapp
Can someone name a good php editor..?
Kudlaty
I use the little hare but this programme is in Polish... But in him one can edit all manner of scripts... is really excellent... I instruct to every who knows Polish... because the programme has really large possibilities whereat is completely gratuitous...

Ultraedit, WinEdt, pretty much anything that can do syntax highlighting. Maybe Eclipse can do PHP syntax highlighting too.

Wordpad, NotePad will also work in a pinch... no syntax highlighting, though. Notepad is annoying because it does wierd things to line breaks and word wrap.

HTMLGate and PHPDesigner are designed specifically for PHP editing, and are free, but they are full of bugs and have poor documentation.


The useful feature is syntax highlighting, not a point-and-click interface. Point-and-click inevitably limits what you are able to do (because it doesn't anticipate every possible syntactically valid expression).

I use PHP-Designer 2005 and I can tell you, I haven't encoutered any bugs yet. It's a very handy tool. It has syntax highlighting for php, html, js, css and some other languages, a small function-library (without explanation though). If you have a server installed, you can view your page immediately.
I use it, and don't have any complaints. You can use it too.
dandelion
I use jEdit for almost all file types including PHP.

Also eMacs is a very powerful editor as I heard, but I have no experience with it.
eMacs is more known as Linux editor, but there is Windows version as well.
boringest
use Ultraedit or Textpad
blackant
I used phpedit before, it is not bad. Wink
But I am using linux now... hence using bluefish.
kaaos
PSPad is a great editor, although it isn't specially designed for PHP. It is freeware. For the features, take a look at their website.[/url]
spider
ive found that php designer 2005 is really great,, has alot of extra features and can use other scripting languages.... php isnt the only scriptiing language alot of people prefer to work with,,, i went from 2 years with dreamweaver to this program, and i got it at http://www.mpsoftware.dk/. I highly recommend it...
squeakypants
I've been using ConTEXT for awhile, but its word wrap is completely unusable, and it has become unbarable to code in (having to scroll every time). Its word wrap actually creates line breaks.

Ironically, today I switched to Crimson Editor and it is great. It is VERY similar to ConTEXT, but with a working word wrap.

Both these software have many great features like syntax highlighting for many different codes, file browsing, tabbing (a must), and embedded DOS modules (a plus for me, since I code in UnrealScript sometimes and it makes it much easier to compile).
snoppy
I use PHP Expert Editor. I think, it's very good a program.

Some Features :
- Support PHP, HTML, Java Script and CSS.
- Internal Browser and FTP Client
- PHP Syntax Check
- PHP Debugger
- Full report of script's Errors and Warnings
- Quick inserting the PHP functions with parameters hint.
- Customizable Code Templates
- Source code export to HTML and print with syntax highlighting
- PHP Help support with a fast search of keyword
DimAce
Zend Development Studio is most powerful editor from creators of PHP. But it's not freeware Wink
kilted1
I've been using an old copy of HomeSite for a while, since I could do a number of scripting languages with it, but I'm always on the look out for something that will work well with the language I'm working in.

Now to get HomeSite, you have to buy the Macromedia suite. Who's got that kind of money when you're a poor student?
Texas Al
WOW! Crimson Editor rules. It has all the features of Ultraedit that I like, but none of the ones that are useless to me. Plus, the syntax highlighting is better than for Ultraedit (it preserves accross line breaks) and line-wrapping is better too.

Another cool feature is you can set it up to automatically open and save files that are located on an FTP server, so you can in effect directly edit stuff on your FriHost account.

Not open source but free, and highly recommended.
Grimboy
To be honest I just use Dreamweaver. It has syntax highlighting and drag-and-drop features. (Whitch I admittedly barely ever use but they sometimes help me remember a function.) I like it's intergration with ftp most really, quick testing on a remote server is good. Plus I got it for free due to an extra licence at my dad's work. Dreamweaver 8 is going to be love.
Defsanguje
notepad++ for everything Very Happy
skfung
emeditor,very fast not beautiful interface
snowboardalliance
I like notepad++ for quick editting, php designer 2005 is good but i don't use it much. html-kit has addons for php and that's a really good program.
Simulator
I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, can't wait for Studio 8
zrule
Ultraeditor! Even though It's commercial. but at least we can try it.
It has every features essential to programmers. support HTML,PHP,C,VB.. etc. Wink
Skyte Resengard
I use DreamWeaver. It is good. One of my favs.
madsurfer
PHPDesigner for me is the best, and besides it΄s free, and spyware clean, but when i'm messing around on soe pre made scripts, I prefer notepad Razz
I use more notepad, than PHPDesigner:P dont kown why, but thats the way I liked it
Potternet
I have got two options. If you have uploaded the php files to a php enebled web host (which you probaby would have done) then it should come with something to edit the file with. It also look neater. Of all the php enabled web host i have been hosted on (and i swear Frihost is the best) they all have an edit command. Anyway if you are not using a webhost with the edit command then you should use noteppad or word pad. I always use notepad. But that limits the amount of characters you can input. On the whole (in my opinion) it is either a web host editor (has to be php enabled for the script to work properly) or word pad as it does not limit the amount of text you can input.
ammonkc
I use Macromedia dreamweaver. It has all kinds of features. Its not a very lightweight app though. I program on a mac so I also use phpEdit also. I like dreamweavers file management feature. it keeps track of all the files for your site and can ftp to your server also. the ftp also has a cvs style checkout system also.
anhstar
I have been using a good php editor for sometime now!
Its called: NuSphere Phped.

Its a great editor with all the feature like:
Php profiler
code highlight
code template
hints for arguments and return type for each functions
integrated CVS
etc

Here's the link to the website : www.nusphere.com

it cost money, but if you are a professional developer, it's a must.
Xcelerate
PHP Designer when I have to work on something at school (No Dreamweaver) and Dreamweaver at home.

I don't use Dreamweaver's design mode because it skews everything, but I do like that it highlights code and that it is easy to maintain a connection with the web host. (Which just shut down that I was using)

Anyway, I also use the PHP help file from their website with notes because I'm always looking up functions. It just brings up a box and I type the function in!
htmlmaster
Dev PHP is my second favorite, but notepad rules all. (fast to load, little HD space used up, reliable, etc.).
maxstro
hi
ASM Editor
or PHP Edit
friscofrankie
If you're on Linux you should try kate, or quanta+. Both have excellent support for PHP, Perl, c, C++, Python, CSS, tcl, lisp, html, xml, oh man the list goes on. It's really a simple little editor with syntax higlighting and the ability to collapse div, loops or functiolns once you're done with 'em.
Also has a nice xml validator.
malik11
DreamWeaver MX is the best
ammonkc
Has anyone tried the Dreamweaver 8 yet? I've been using Dreamweaver MX 2004 for a while now. I like it only because the file/site organization and ftp uploading is easy. I like it. does dreamweaver 8 have any new features? or improved performance?
angelo
I use DZSoft's PHP editor and also ultraedit when I edit my php files offline. But when online, I use the all-file editor in the Control Panel of my past hosts! More of the time, I'm online because I want to be sure of what my site will look on the web. And besides, the CPanel has mysql and php environment. On my computer I installed apache and mysql and ate up 500MB of my hard disk space.
Amsilva
I vote in PHP Designer 2005 - PHP editor
Not that i understand to much of programming, but i've readed god review about it
You can find in

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/mpsphp.html
theo
i use word pad.
i think it's easy t handle
ammonkc
I'm trying to debate wheather or not it would be worth it to upgrade to macromedia studio 8. I'm using MX 2004 right now. I haven't heard anything about the new features in version 8 yet. does ayyone think that it would be worth it to switch to 8? if so why?
megamass
dreamweaver and NOTEPAD Very Happy
needlz
dreamwaver is cool...
but editplus2 owns * Smile
Doerak
I like the interface of PHPDesigner, it just really works well once you get used to it Cool
Doerak
I like the interface of PHPDesigner, it just really works well once you get used to it Cool I worked with Dreamweaver for a really long time, until I got into server-sided scripting and CSS. For those aspacts of webdeveloping, dreamweaver just wont do.
ammonkc
I've used dreamweaver MX 2004 for a long time. I just barely downloaded the trial version of dreamweaver 8 to test it out. I have had a chance to do any work with it yet, but I did open it up a couple of times to check out the interface and the speed. as far as I can tell they haven't touched the interface. it still looks exactly the same as MX 2004. I wont really be able to tell the difference until I really get in to some php programming with it. but at first glance it looks the same to me as mx 04. although I think that it did start up a little bit quicker.

recently I change it to editplus2, I still loving it Cool
RealX
i use 'Cromson Editor' it's really simple to use.
Lukrasha
I like crimson editor (www.crimsoneditor.com).
ldnet
i prefer to use Ultraedit, shows alot of the syntax and stuff coulours its very good, better then sticking to the good old notepad.
TekNoFX
ultraedit it's cool but i like more my dreamweaver Smile
mrsliickz
I think Macromedia Dreamweaver or Ultradev works perfectly fine. Why dont you give it a try..
ammonkc
I just heard of this open source html editor called Nvu (pronounced N-view). I haven't actually tried it yet, but its free and it has gotten some good reviews. I'm gonna try it out.
I agree that the best way to code is to get down into the source code yourself. it is so much better in the long run to understand whats going on behind the scenes. I do use Dreamweaver mostly as a text editor with code hinting. I can't stand the design view of Dreamweaver.
itsrude
I've used 1stpage for a long time.
But the last time I 'm using NotePad or PHP Designer.
PHP Designer 2005 is a good editor,
but I hope that in PHP Designer 2006 there is a better FTP feature, because the one in 2005 is very bad.
JayBee
I thing, the best is VIM, especialy GVim with cream. I'm a big Very Happy programmer so I use it for other purpose.
bdoneck
PHP Designer is my favorite

very easy to use, nice layout, and very nice tools, you can download the php manual and intergrade it into the program.
brosta
I just use dreamweaver since its a WUSIWUG. Has a little bit of everything. I havent really used any other editors.
ammonkc
I just barely got a chance to code a php site in dreamweaver 8 and I like it. at first glance it didn't look too different. but when I actually got to try it in action, I liked the interface.
eneiaslr
You are loocking for a PHP editor in what OS (Windows, Linux or ohter)
If you are using Windows you can use PHPeditor, in Linux you can use bluefish.
supjapscrapper
hi guys!
as far as I'm concerned, There are two outstanding editors outthere :

PSPAD and SCRIPTEDIT. They can do pretty much averything you'd want to do on a script.
But there are still many others that are ecellent like winedit and context.

php editor 2005 is an excellent alternative.
guaxa
quanta plus on linux distribuctions i think is the best non visual editor for web.
ammonkc
I've had a chance now to develope at least 1 site using dreamweaver 8 both for the mac and for windows. I like it. it seems to be a lot smoother that mx or mx 04. i've also noticed that it uses resources a little better. mx 2004 would eat up all of my ram if I used it for too long without letting it rest.
inet
vi or vim is a great choice
WLFS
I Like Crimson Editor.
Easy to use Razz

http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
cambridge
check www.yessoftware.com - CodeCharge Studio. It's powerful code generator (not only PHP, but also ASP, ColdFusion and more..) with built in code editor.
thnn
I personally use HAPEdit for PHP editing. It has syntax highlighting and will show you how to format strings as you type.

I think for a beginner this program is very good.
jasperlevink
I use HTML-kit and really like it! Highlighting but no debugging (would be nice if a programm could show you missed ;s and "s !

Grtz.
misterdimiz
PHP Designer 2005 is the best.
Laz
Ummmmmmmmm Like what a content mangent if so than I would sugest either mambo or phpnuke google it. If you mean a php script editor than note pad or dreamweaver.
ammonkc
I know some people at work that like to use UltraEdit. I've never used it myself, I normally use Dreamweaver or just plain old notepad, or on my mac BBEdit is really good, but some of the guys at my work seem to like it. it seems like a simple interface compared to apps like dreamweaver. probably good for beginners.

I use DZ soft php editor. It costs but it highlights syntax's and if u have a messy scipt it puts it on new lines etc...

Also is dreamweaver good?
abhinav_shah
I currently use "PHP Designer 2005". It has a very good IDE and it supports HTML/XML/JS editing also.
To download PHP Designer 2005 go to http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php

NuSphere PHPed is good. This program have an own web server. Also full of help and documentation.
NuniPio
crimson editor is what i use. its quick and easy and thats exactly wat i need. kinda like notepad if you know wat i mean
xboy
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver for development under windows. Not only it allows you to create php scripts but also it can help with web design and more. Unfortunetely it doesn't work with linux. So I use Quanta+ (from kdewebdev) when developing with linux. It has some problems but good enough.

Are there other tools for linux? I have tried bluefish but it has problems with higlighting.

while some editors might have cool addons and all, editor doesent really matter much... if youre a lameass you wount do anything good even if you have the best one ever, its just a text editor after all..... and if youre good you dont need more then vi or notepad Razz but if you can make anything with it the good editors might maybe spare 5-30% of youre time... thats my POV at least... (and no you wount find an editor that would make ultra good scripts for you if you dont have a clue, so rather learn some php instead of looking for a better tool Razz)

Notepad is enough
but PHP Designer 2005 is freeware
vignesh_natraj
Dreamweaver is the best buy it
it is a all in one editor i use this

There are programs that do this, the first one that comes to mind is Zend, will squiggly red underline all areas of code which have errors such as forgetting a ; and if you accidently used the wrong variable you can have it check your code and it will say stuff like $variablesdds is used once and no where else. And you say damn I spelt it wrong there Smile and all your code is good.
ainieas
I'm using the PHP designer 2006 http://www.mpsoftware.dk and its pretty cool.
roeenoy
use editpluse or edit+

i use him and it is better every and editor.
kiranaghor
I prefer my iBook for coding purposes and nothing beats 'textwrangler (or BBedit) on mac platform. This editor pretty mature than any other editor. As one goes on using it, it starts showing off its amazing features. One can only try to experience those him/herself.
On winodows, I think Crimson editor is the BEST. It does not have any junky stuff like those proprietory softwares. I never tried Dreamweaver though.

Go, right now. Click this link and go! http://macromedia.com Dreamweaver 8 has all the feature you can imagine, PHP editing, HTML, XML, on intergrated with ftp so you can quickly edit your homepage using the latest graphics. Dreamweaver, now and forever.

PHP designer is good, but it's not good with lanuages other than English(especially Asain lanuages)
so for most Asain developers, they might chose Zend studio
pjv
Maguma is good, i've tried using it for a while. You can check it at http://www.maguma.com/ The product also allows you to code in phyton.
ChesterB
i use EditPlus2, i think this ist the best php/html/java(script)/c/ and many other formats editor
Bengt
I think the best are: Dreamweaver; DevPHP or Notepad Very Happy
Rosanova
These following does really work for me:

HTML-Kit
Dreamweaver 8
Evrsoft First Page 2006
PHP DESIGNER 2006 - BETA

I've to be honest that PHP Designer hasn't I tried yet, but it still seems like that HTML-Kit is the freeware winner.

Cheers!

emacs o anjuta is good.

does anyone know a PHP IDE on Macintosh.
I want to test my scripts offline...

Zend Studio is the best php editor. But it's not free.

Second is php designer. It's beautiful and free.

But i'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver and it's perfect!!!

And also i'm using Pixie for get color's hex codes.

ccarter24
I am using PSPad. It works fairly well. It has some cool options for selceting colors, and can open a program that edits css. It also highlights syntax and can pull up a list of functions in your code you can skip to.

I used PHPEdit before. It was pretty handy and had an auto complete feature that was quite useful. That auot complete feature also crashed my computer when I edited large files. It pulls every variable and function in the code into memory for auto complete and can crash the code if the file gets very big.

I am going to get Dreamwevaer MX as soon as Amazon gets off their keister and ships it. Mad
Garg
Crimsom Editor, ConTeXT at the office, but i really like a variation of the Notepad called TextPad... You can select blocks, compare files, syncronise scrolling ... It's useful if you have loads of files that differ slightly from one another... But it rules for that !
Atomo64
I used to use dzphp editor, now I use the Zend Studio with the studio server... and I'll try the Zend Platform one of these days... Zend is "the PHP Company", that says everything Razz

Hi all,

I have read all the posts without any mention of EDITPAD PRO.
So here it goes Wink

A powerful and versatile text editor with syntaxic coloration.
Trial version online.

Just give it a try !

tony
i prefer crimson editor (http://crimsoneditor.com) - it's lightweight, free, and color-codes php scripts.
shalmoli
Zend studio is the best editor I have found till date for professional php editing. It is not free - however, if you have a lot of php programming to do - it is a perfect IDE solution.
dexterius
I'm using PHPEdit. It's really good, but a little slow i think. But you can really work fast with it Smile , the only problem with it is, that it isnt free Crying or Very sad
Panthrowzay
Dreamweaver is the best to learn it in!
caroline
I use JCreator for all scripting stuff. It isn't that great, but hey, it works! Smile
broadparker
In my opinion PHP Designer 2006 is the best ! It's a good program because it has good built-in functions and your codes/tags become colored dependending on which language you write in. For example PHP, CSS, HTML, Java etc. And it's free Very Happy
comp615
Dreamweaver is terrible for PHP in my opinion. It gives such a crapload of errors its horrific. For a project I work on I use Ecllipse with some PHP tools mod from sourceforge tacked on. It really is a nice project utility with all the CVS and comment stuff it has. For some of the more casual stuff I use Crimson editor, which is much much more light weight but still allows tabbed windows, syntax, auto-tabbing etc.
Fenix
I use PHP Xtra Edit that I got from a friend. Works real well but I don't have the install file on hand. I'll get it and put it up sometime.

I use Smultron on my Mac....

hi

i use www.crimsoneditor.com and i think it is the best one.
avbertuzzi
PHP Editer is a very nice editor, but personally I prefer using Notepad. I like the speed of opening Notepad, the reliability, the ease of use. I've also heard Dreamweaver Mx is a powerful PHP processor, and its options are plentiful but for any level of expertise, Notepad is still the frontrunner in my mind.
wormhole.v2
I use EditPlus 2 (syntax highlighting).
The best thing is you can add other programming languages or even custom make them. (I made a custom one for GML: www.gamemaker.nl)
mustaq
i belive EngInSite PHP Editor v3.42 is best

about the software :EngInSite PHP Editor allows you to create, edit, run, and debug PHP 4 and PHP 5 scripts from an integrated development environment (IDE). It will change your life, turning your PHP coding into pure pleasure! (OK, that was a poetic exaggeration, but even in more mundane terms: your productivity with EngInSite PHP Editor will double -- guaranteed.)

i have full version if any one need pm me

I prefer UltraEdit. There you can specify your program language and colorize.

An Alternative which is free would be jedit (based on Java). You can also download plugins to configure it to your needs..

Dreamweaver is a very good program for editing php, but this is an expensive program. Something like PHPEdit should be fine. Ive used it before and find it good. And its free! Smile
Slick
i use crimson editor all the time...

so easy to just open a page go straight to the code i need to edit.. edit it.. save it all done!

i use dreamweaver if i need to create a page layout real quick but then go back to crimson for editing etc! Wink
Drodr
Ultraedit, WinEdt, and lots of others, they are very handy, i like that programs Wink
quartz
Ultraedit for all files (now i think to swich to Crimson Editor)
Zend Studio very useful because of debuging.
Also will try PHP Designer
psycosquirrel
I use notepad... Brick wall

I probably am going to dl one of the programs here though... I didn't realize there were so many freeware progs out there.

Go to this free Php designer software at http://www.mpsoftware.dk/downloads_thanks.php and click on the link which says random site.

Dear, where I can get any good template of php?
the666bbq
once you have tried Zend you will never go back ... it's one you really want to buy. I only use my dreamweaver for some basic wysiwyg template creation - all the rest i do with zend;

the main benefits are :
- real code completion including variables, user defined functions/classes as well as all known standard functions (with manual documentation)
- realtime error/warnings : you immediately see that you are missing a quote, a ;,...
- you can do real debugging (especially when you have the zend server too)
- code folding
- easy code navigation, jump to functions, classes with a click
- code folding do reduce the haystack of your own code

try you will like

I use vim (http://vim.sf.net) for all my programming needs.

Takes a lot of time to learn, but worth every minute you invest in it.

Notepad is the best Very Happy not really...
Sometimes i use PHP Expert Editor. It sure is a good PHP editor, but Notepad is the best Very Happy thats all i can recomend to you... Don't laugh, i'm not joking, Notepad is the best editor of all. It can edit php, css and even C++ Smile and much much more... You just need to save file with right extension, thats all Smile then you open it with some compiler (for C++) and build your file to a program or game...

Dreamweaver is a good thing to use for coding as well as designing. it highlights certain tags, and also brings up choices of code you might not have known about

I Use context because it covers many diffrent formats includinng PHP and Unrealscript

hope you find what you are looking for Very Happy

Dreamweaver is good because had not very bad help, but you could use emacs, for php and for almost everything!
kcarring
Personally,

I use Dreamweaver, but.. any editor that gives you line numbers would be useful~ (and highlighting).

Without line numbers, it is more difficult to make sense of the PHP errors!

I always use my Dreamweaver 8. It's easy, works well, and has a lot of options and snippets.

It has syntax highlighting for php, html, js, css and some other languages, a small function-library (without explanation though). If you have a server installed, you can view your page immediately.
I use it, and don't have any complaints. You can use it too.


I use that same program, well actually I don't use it, but I have it installed from a website coding pack that I bought.

Zend Studio has excellent features, but for me, it's a big, slow application. It routinely lags when I am typing, and sometimes uses over 200M RAM. I usually use PSPad because it is small and fast, and the author frequently posts new beta builds to try out. I used to use PHP Designer 2005 a lot, but the development has stagnated, so I switched to PSPad.

I use Edit Plus and Ultraedit. Both are Good in their respective ways!

Dreamweaver is good for creating HTML with PHP code inside!

Thanks

I use Dreamweaver 8 for large site integration. I set up an Apache, PHP, MySQL server on my machine and use it as a test server within DW. That works great and you can test without a single upload.
If I just need to look at some code I use Proton, the best Notepad replacement there is. Unfortunately it's in German. I have not seen an English version so far. It loads as fast as Notepad and does syntax highlighting for all kinds of scripting languages. html/php mix is no problem at all. And there are new syntax plug-ins available for all kind of languages. I recently added LATEX to mine. And it runs without installation even from a thumbdrive, a camera flashcard or your mp3 player memory.


UPDATE: Proton is now available in several other languages. The developer also included new features and an updated syntax highlighting.
Check it out at at this site. The site is in German but the download now is obvious. If somebody really wants to try it but is not able to figure out how to change the language send me an e-mail and I will give you detailed instructions.

I use dreamweaver mx 2004, and it works fine.
some problems with big files.
For rapid editing:
NotePad2 for windows =P
http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
Freeware, powerfull, color hints

The original Notepad shipped with Windows is probably the handiest program of all times, small, fast, without frills! Notepad2 tries to follow this principle, it's a small, fast and free text editor with syntax highlighting for HTML and other common languages.



Aranee ( search in google... no color hints, but puwerful to open files bigger than 20 mbs.. SQL files)
freeware.

visit www.phpnuke.org thats a excellent Site u'll find many things there Smile

PHP Designer (now 2006) is great. I'd use it if it weren't for one thing: It doesn't support UTF-8 encoded files. So, for now, I use Zend Studio (which I have a legal license for through work). Bulky but has everything I need (but I'd still prefer PHP Designer).
Praying Mantis
I like to use context its realy adaptable. Other wise I just use dreamweaver.
no_name
When you dont know/cant understand code. Then use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. This is very good program. Can make HTML ,PHP...... .
I use this.

When you know code , then is easy to make pages in Worldpad and Notepad.

I find you can't beat good old expensive Dreamweaver

I think the best PHP and other programming languades editor is Dreamweaver 8. It's more functional. And also one more very good, PHP, C++, Java, Python and other programming languades editor, is EmEditor (http://www.emeditor.com). Why? Because it is very very functional. It has very much plugins. And developer of EmEditor, Yataka, works all the time with this programm, so there's new release every month, or every week Smile

rapidphp 2006 is marvelous write php,css,html ,vbscripts, etc

Demiah
I use Macromedia Dreamweaver 8SE2 (hacked the Serial Razz and saved my money, proud to say that money saved my comp's life)
use it actually for everything...
(specially the Hacker's Edition 4 hase some niceeeee features.. *not that im planning to use them here Razz *)
Also i think that JEdit also deserves users, that prog is just great for editing nearly any file (currently using for BATCH *.bat* files, didnt try it with html or php tho, but will do that someday, if my DW crashes for some reason Very Happy )
Axl Horse
Macromedia Dreamweaver.

You can use notepad (or something like Programmer's Notepad), they always work, and I prefer them because I like hand coding. But you can also use Dreamweaver or PHP Designer.

Best php editor = phpEditor and PHP Designer. Use it if you want to be a good php programmer ... Smile

fadirocks
I'm PHP n00b so far notepad and Dreamweaver but i guess I'll look into that PHP editor Smile I hope it's helpful

thanks all for replies
shankar
I think Dreamweaver is best because it has integrated editor and Local test site synchronisation can be done easily without any hassles...

PHP designer is also good....
qebab
Textpad when I'm using windows, and BlueFish when I'm in linux. Both offer syntax highlighting and such.
heridlia
About speed, I choose Evrsoft FirstPage 2006. It's far faster than Dreamweaver. Cause Dreamweaver need big resources in your system.

But about features, I choose Dreamweaver. Now, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with many profesional features.

Thanks for sharing.
vinx_18
When I'm on windows, its best to use dreamweaver but in linux it's quanta+. Smile
carlospro7
I like PHPEdit and Dreamweaver a lot, but PHPEdit is specifically made for, of course, PHP, so I use it a lot more for that whereas I prefer dreamweaver for html
goldendes
I think the PHP Designer is the best program in editing >> Razz

Has anyone tried Komodo Edit ? It seems a good option and is completely free.

I really need a php editor, im gana try out the phpDesigner
bulek
My recommendation goes to very good, freeware and open source program PsPad. However, I haven't tried many other programs for editing PHP code, but I can assure that PsPad won't disappoint you.
desertwind
Screem is the best.

I use gPHPEdit in GNU and Notepad++ in Win.
swizzy
PHP designer 2007 is so far the best i have used
Zeferman
Aptana is what I use
flatliner
Maguma Studio Complete version, its brillent and its free Very Happy
Manofgames
Notepad ++ all the way!
It has syntax highlighting and support for loads of computer languages.
Its search and replace took is also world class Imho.

And the best thing is - its free!
squeetox
Dreamweaver CS3 for me, I love the way it is, maybe it's the default settings (color, font...) that made me fall in love with it the first time, but it's my pick.
Anyway, for free and light, go Notepad++.
Talk2Tom11
Notepad ++ and forget you ever heard of anything else.
gerpg
PHP desingner 2007.

The program has multiple addon downloads that allow your computer to interpret php and gives a debug report eg. error on line 65.. The program also allows a preview feature which with the right addon allows a view as if in a browser you dont get all the echo crap. The program also allows you to upload directly to an FTP account the program can store.

I love Macromedia Dreamweaver, it just great.. New 1 CS3 huhuhu..

I am using vim for php editing and happy Smile
welshsteve
I just use Notepad++ for everything. I've tried a few dedicated PHP editors, but Notepad++ does the job for me just fine.

Having said that, if there is one that can pare your code for possible problems, I'd welcome giving it a try.
jsfdan
I suggest you use phpDesigner 2008.

I has using a Delphi 4 Php, of Code Geas, is not very good
bernardnapoleon
Zend Studio for Eclipse is probably the best... but it's not free and very very very costly... but if your serious enough to go PHP then it's a must buy!

if not serious enough notepad++ or the likes will suffice... i'll like to recommend Dreamweaver though... it has function reference, database binding and some automation stuff plus it's probably the best editor for designing you site then later putting all your PHP code in it. Not to mention a build in FTP to transfer you file from your computer to an online server. and I think the new CS4 will have SVN support it will be really cool!!

*cheers*
