 | View Full Version : PHP Editors TowerHost 11-10-2003, 11:32 AM I really enjoy using Homesite by Macromedia - used to be owned by Alliare. It has great colour coding, amazing search and replace options and a bunch of other nice options. I've really grown to enjoy using it. Dreamweaver isn't bad either if you want to have a multi-use editor. Burhan 11-10-2003, 12:33 PM The editor I use for PHP is SciTE ( http://www.scintilla.org ). Features that I like : 1. Unix/DOS file ending aware 2. Syntax highlighting 3. Completely customizable interface 4. Intellisense-like code lookups (what this means is, if you type in a function name, it will popup a box with the function's signature). 5. Free 6. Works on box Unix and Windows (I use it on Windows). For Unix editing, I use vim. Also worth a look is EditPlus.

RackNine 11-10-2003, 02:20 PM UltraEdit is a personal favourite. Colour-coding commands, multi-window functionality (compared to notepad), and it's fairly intuitive to use. Commercial software, but not that expensive considering what you get. Sincerely, -Matt Burhan 11-10-2003, 03:01 PM Originally posted by Acecool Notepad :-) Please don't make suggestions like Notepad. Might as well say use "copy con" :rolleyes: Notepad is good for somethings -- its is however, not a php editor. digitalpoint 11-10-2003, 05:49 PM BBEdit... although I think it's for Mac OS X only... - Shawn xyzulu 11-10-2003, 05:50 PM Dreamweaver! :) OUFNecro 11-10-2003, 06:53 PM Context... One of the best editors on the planet. Has customizable highlighters for nearly every language on the planet (even has some linux configuration files highlighted, such as apache)... http://fixedsys.com/context/ etogre 11-10-2003, 07:25 PM PHP EDIT (http://www.phpedit.com) A highly reccomended editor for it automatically add's backslashes to items that can break a code and has a debug mode. CSD_Hosting 11-10-2003, 08:04 PM HTML-Kit with the PHP Plugin ( both free ) and Macromedia Dreamweaver shoperotic 11-10-2003, 08:52 PM EditPlus, the best for editing files remote. The only one who didn't crash. vision3 11-10-2003, 09:19 PM wow so many to choose from lol. thanks guys ill check all of them out, thanks alot :D Faraz 11-10-2003, 09:39 PM WinSyntax JSpired 11-10-2003, 10:55 PM Dev-php (http://devphp.sourceforge.net/) is nice..and free. I also used Context from time to time, which has already been mentioned. obviousl 11-11-2003, 04:18 AM Zend studio is a great application! www.zend.com We use it for php, html, asp and even cfm (when a client specifically wants it). Chris ericabiz 11-11-2003, 05:45 AM Another vote for EditPlus and Dreamweaver! :D Darktwist 11-11-2003, 05:54 AM EditPlus. LordJMann 11-11-2003, 06:18 AM Dreamweaver MX 2004 is an excellent one. |
