I write them in notepad, save them, and then rename them to .php.

in notepad, go to save as, then all file types and just give it the .php extension at the end of the name.

I use php coder pro, which is free from zdnet.com and a tweaked up wordpad.

...or sorround the file name and extension with quotes, ie "file.php".

When on Windows, I use Notepad. It might be cool to have an editor that does the color changes for functions and whatnot, like Visual Editor does for ASP, but who really cares unless it's free and works well. Otherwise, when in shell, I just open up pico, ee, or vi. For X, I don't know what I'd use, I'm usually in command line mode, but I guess vim, if I recall that being a version that worked with X.

HomeSite 4.5 here for HTML and PHP...

Used to be a Notepad junkie, but there comes a point where you just HAVE to have tag auto-completion and color-coding :D

I write my scripts using HTMLKit with the php modules plugged in.

I test them locally using phpTriad.

I've never liked Notepad. Back when I used Windows, I used the MS-DOS Editor. With UNIX, I use joe.

If I'm looking for a bug on a large program and its prolly a quote problem, I use PHP IDE, http://www.phpide.de/
