Code editors: wich one is good?

Post by Gath »

Because i've been using it intensively this last days, my (old) PHPEd started to crash every 5 minutes...

So, wich PHP editors out there are really worth it?
I mean, wich ones do you recommend?

(err... for windows...:( )

My favourite is Textpad

http://textpad.com/

There are addons available for the same from their website called "syntax definitions", get the one you want and set it up. With the syntax definition files, your php syntax would be highlighted to make it more readable.

Good luck,

Yes, You can setup your 'textpad' under the view setting to display lines.

I use EditPlus v.2.11 (http://www.editplus.com)

as for notepad (what is used to use), you just hit Crtl + G, and you type in the line that you want to go to :) <-- works on win2k prof.

You gotta love metapad, it's so good I renamed it to notepad and renamed my old notepad, it is basically the same except with search and replace and a few other handy features.

Homesite 5 for me..though I am a bit disappointed at Macromedia's decision.

EditPlus is almost nice..except they don't handle multiline strings ni PHP right, which messes up the syntax highlighting, which is annoying.
