View Full Version : PHP Code Editor?
peachtreewebworks 04-20-2002, 09:39 PM I've been using Visual Interdev for a few years to develop my ASP sites for work and now that I'm starting to do some PHP sites, I was wondering if there was something similar?
The thing I like about InterDev is that it maintains a local copy of the site and knows which version is newer (local or web). When you save a page, it is saved on both the web and locally.
Is there any other program that does something like that and also recognizes the PHP syntax for highlighting?
Thanks!
NetXL 04-20-2002, 09:43 PM Not sure if this is totally what you're after. Allaire Homesite highlights PHP syntax. Does stuff like that with CFM/ASP/JSP too. Though this product costs, i'm pretty sure you could find a free one.

The Prohacker 04-21-2002, 08:23 AM I use PHP-IDE:
www.phpide.de
Always been very happy with it, but usually I just use notepad for coding smaller PHP pages...

The link doesnt work for me.. does it include an inbuilt FTP program?
Studio64 04-21-2002, 06:23 PM Edit Plus (http://www.editplus.com/) is the program I've been using a for a while.
Great little syntax highlighting program that also doubles as a webbrowser.
Free-ware (a little nag screen) but, still good.
Matt Lightner 04-21-2002, 06:34 PM Another vote for edit plus. If you're coding on your local machine, it's as good as you can get IMHO.
Studio64 04-21-2002, 06:55 PM I don't code for my local machine but it has a built in FTP uploader...
Takes a while to find b/c they have a little problem w/ too many buttons, and menu choices...
But, now after I finish an edit to the file I"m working on I hit Ctrl+S to save and Ctrl+Shift+S and it's uploaded to my remote server...
Alberto 04-21-2002, 08:45 PM I love Homesite's global search and replace. Some of these other packages I've tried crash when you have more than 20 php files.
Overall it is a sweet text editor.

Strange their site must be down at the moment...
It has Save to ftp and Load from FTP, which does come in handy....

Agreed, I'm a Homesiteaholic here too. Although I did manage to crash it the other day doing a global search & replace....
Could be because I tried to make it look through 10,335 files... :D

ill vouch for editplus... thats what i use as my primary text editor, java coder, and php coding ;)
peachtreewebworks 04-23-2002, 12:05 PM Thanks for the suggestions... I've download HTML-Kit and it seems to do the job! I like that you can "edit" remote pages (it basically downloads them to a buffer and then reuploads them when saved).
I'll give the others a go as well...

Thats the best thing about it :) I havent seen any other system handle the same as sweetly as Html-Kit does.. :)
