Have been browsing a bit in the following thread
viewtopic.php?t=6288,
as I'm looking for a new php editor to use... Currently I'm using Xemacs which is quite good, but lacks some functionality I'd like to have.
Below is a list of things I think an editor should provide (entries marked
- Automatic identation
- Syntax highlighting
- Collapse functions or block of code
- Search & replace
- Remove lines of code without marking them first
- Different colours for different key-words, functions etc
- Support for embedded HTML code (typically by having "html" colours on the html and "php" colours on the php)
- Debuggingtool
- Goto-line functionality
- Switching among open files shoulb be easy
- Built-in php and html manual
- Autocompletion of keywords
There are certainly more useful features not listed here. If you want to you should post your own list. The goal should be to agree upon a editor (preferably free) that fulfils most of these features.
