I use crimson editor for most of my programming tasks. Works really well, its lite and you can work on remote files via ftp. Syntax highlighting for C, C++, Java, SQL, ASP, PHP, JSP, javascript, html, pretty much all of them.

I use EditPlus (works for more than PHP) and I'm happy with it...
About moving from Linux to WinXP, have you considered a dual-boot configuration with LILO or something ?

Edit Plus 2 is good

i use edit plus for all my code editing. it is highly flexible in configuring new languages adding syntaxes and even customizing color codes and auto completion snippets. its really convenient and you can also integrate chm help files where you have to define a shortcut key to the user tool bars and you could easily look up a word by selecting the word and clicking the shortcut key you assigned to the chm file.

hope you'll like it. the url is http://www.editplus.com. try it and it may become your favourite text edit. :wink:

Editplus has everything a text editor needs, a few goodies, and a really robust ftp-editing section. That's why I love it.

Whatever people say I like Dreamweaver MX and Zend Studio. They both are pretty cool and I have tried almost all the editors I was recommended to use.

Notepad. Does the job evertime. if you want colour coding though, go for Allaire Homesite.

Zend Studio and Homesite. Both have (or in Zends case, next release) CVS support, FTP support, and PHP support.

Also, look into Zend's Remote Debugging support, and you suddenly realize how much cooler it is.

I also like the fact that when I bought the Zend IDE, I could use it on my Linux machine, and both my Windows machines the same way.

Macromedia Homesite has by far the best color-coding scheme for PHP, customizable too.

Nicely expandable with custom scripts as well.

Zend Studio is nice, but runs REALLY lsow on older machines.

I am just learning php and find that DzSoft Php Editor is just the right tool

Also:

You are not required to have a web server on your computer to test your PHP scripts with DzSoft PHP Editor.
