PHP IDE W/ FTP

Post by Todd_Z »

I know I'm going to be yelled at, but this is *kinda* different...

Best IDE with FTP capability? [Not Dreamweaver]

Moved to General Discussion.

Look through the Editors thread.. there likely is several that have FTP functionality built in within those pages.

Yeah, the editors thread has a boat load.

I'll save you a couple minutes and tell you that PSPad is one of the best. 8)

Alright, so I gave pspad the ol' college try - A couple things i didn't like:

- Color Highlighting is crap.
- The file images aren't different for the file types in the ftp view - which is kinda annoying.

Anyone know of any progs without these annoyances?

check out viewtopic.php?t=6288&highlight=ide for a long discussion about what IDE's people use.

Most programs will have ways to change the syntax highlighting, so you can figure out which set of 'crappy' colours you like.

if you want a "perfect" solution to your needs you will have to build your own, personally i use Zend Development Studio and its the bee's knee's, however it is pricey

Well I like how you can customize the colouring any way you like. What did you dislike about it?

And I never noticed that image thing, but then again I tend to look at the extension names and not the images. ;)

I recommend shipping PSPad developers an e-mail suggestion because I'm sure those two things can be easily improved in a new update.

I started with jedit about 6 months ago and now my entire office is hooked on it. Its a good basic editor with an amazing amount of very useful plugins and its written in java, so its easy to write your own plugins for whatever you need it to do. Yea, that means its got a pretty big memory footprint, but I bet its still smaller than a lot of these IDE's
