Line Numbers

I'm new to PHP but learning. When I get an error, it gives the line number. I have been using NotePad (OS=Windows7 ultimate) to see the code within the routine. That does not print line numbers. Is there anyway to print line numbers so that I don't have to count them manually?

Thanks,
Sam

The free Notepad++ as well as many other editors and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) have this capability.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for.

FYI if you are in notepad you can jump the cursor to a line by number. Look for a 'go to' menu choice or keystroke (I think it's ctrl-G)
