As FrontPage is an HTML editor, is there a good PHP editor I can create PHP scritps on that generate good HTML pages?

I've found Codewhiz (http://www.incatec.com) and Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) to be pretty good text editors.

If you want a wysiwig editor, DreamWeaver MX supposedly does it. NuSphere has one, though it costs a lot (nusphere.com).

Yes, I am referring to WYSIWYG editors, not text-editors like NotePad. I want a kind of IDE to make it easy to put in functions and things.

You could try Code Charge, www.codecharge.com

I used EditPlus from editplus.com

But I got it because someone created the files so it understands UniVerse BASIC - something I doubt anyone else here would know about. It's a wierd language built on a "Multi-Valued" database.

n/m - I just saw that you want wysiwyg... Editplus is not though I thing it has a preview function. But I never use it.

I use PhpEd, It has many useful feathers for wirting php code and debuging code.:D :D

HomeSite 4.5 (5.0 isn't even worth paying the upgrade fee). Best HTML/PHP/Anything else editor there is. Plus it gives you the choice WYSIWYG or text editing :).

Dreamweaver MX, is a great PHP Editor...

editplus is the best :)

notepad :)

You can download a demo of Zend Studio (www.zend.com). Never tried it myself, but looks interesting as a PHP development platform.

UltraEdit is by far my favorite text edit anything. :)

html-kit! in built ftp manager... color coding... everything i would ever want.. very nice :)

draw back, can be resource intensive :(

UltraEdit, the man's PHP editor:

http://www.ultraedit.com

Colour-coding, multi-window, multi-language editor. Very-very good :D

RackNine,
editplus has the same features as you listed for ultraedit and even more

PHPEdit!!

www.phpedit.com

Code completion
Function list

If I type in

"if :space:" it will automatically add in the () and {} for me.

Or if I type in a ' " ' it will automatically add another ' " ' to complete the quotes.

it will also automatically add in \ \'s if you type in quotes in the middle of a string.

PHPEdit is a full featured PHP IDE for Windows. It has code insight, code completion, syntax-highlighting, integrated debugger, code browser, keyboard templates, and even more.

Hi,
I am using editplus and i will suggest you too.. :D


Regards,

Pfffft. The man's PHP editor is Vi. :)

As for Zend Studio, it is based off of Netbeans (http://www.netbeans.org) which is written fully in Java so suffers just slightly from a slower interface. However, having said that, I think it is the best fully-featured PHP editor out there.

I use jedit, it's a little pokey (java based) but it does exactly what i need when it's combined with some of the many plugins available.

I agree there. Homesite 4.5 is well worth the price.

I got the Homesite 5 betas from Macromedia as a beta tester. My impressions were that the only difference was the rebranding from Allaire to Macromedia.

I still use 4.5 (4.5.2) and have no intentions of changing.

As for WYSIWYG PHP editors - apart from the fact that I don't know of any, why on earth would anybody bother? PHP is a fairly easy language to learn and you'll be much more satisfied if you write your own code.

cortices, I just checked out netbeans, it looks great and runs on osx, i can't wait to get home to set it up, thanks.

I use ultraedit. It's not perfect but by far the best I've used.

I tried vi. If you familiar with it, then it's possibly the best editor created for you.

Phpedit looks very alike to ultraedit, though I don't have much experience with it, but it lacks many features ultraedit has. If you major language is php, then choosing it won't be a mistake.

Just my opinion.

PHPEdit (http://www.phpedit.com ) the best PHP editor I've ever seen.

It has a lot of features, including built in debuger, code and file browser, help geterator and many others.

HomeSite 4.5-5.0 - very cool editor.

I don't even know which one is better. I use both of them.

If you already know how to write the code, Editplus is the best.

Only $30 for a single user license - can't beat that.

Just my 2 cents.

PHPEdit is free. :)

Keep in mind that Netbeans is mainly a Java editor (Sun's Forte for Java is based off of it). Zend took Netbeans (it's open source) and turned it into their PHP editor, Zend Studio.

webdeveloper, you've got a very good point there! :)

notepad for local editing, sometimes dw-mx and pico when im remote :D
