I use HTML-Kit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ combined with several plugins to directly paste code functions for PHP and MySQL., highlights code, indents, make batch searches and replaces, search locally PHP manual, etc

I use it on WinXP combined with Foxserv local installation for Apache/MySQL/PHP which it is very easy to install.

I just re-read this thread (never expected there were sooo much editors around!).
Are there any other programmers around, using Arachnophilia like me? If so, I would be very interested in sharing macro's! I've been building quite a few of them for myself (PHP, CSS, MySQL). Perhaps it would be a nice idea to share them????

I only use Notepad and Wordpad. I haven't used any others, except for EditPlus, but EditPlus isn't free, so what's the point? Notepad and Wordpad come with Windows. 8)

I absolutely LOVE Winsyntax. It has syntax highlighting for both HTML and PHP. What is also cool is, if you don't know how to use a function, you just put your mouse over the colored function, and hit F1. It then brings up the help file containing the function! It loads every version of help file, and is very good in my mind. Check it out!

I think using Macromedia Products, make easy designing.
Although there exist some problems, and insufficient points for dreamweaver, i can say that, it is worth that using Dreamweaver.

Of course, (and unfortunately) we can use it just under windows :(

If there is a one-to-one correspondence for Linux, please say ;)

Good Luck Everyone, happy coding.....

my PHP editor is TextPad4... I like it because it's farily cheap ($40 I think) and syntax highlighting is very good... plus, anyone can create their own syntax highlighting script with custom colors.

personally i use:

zend 90% and DW MX 10% of the time on my windows box
kate on my RH9 box

cant believe so few people have mentioned kate, its better than zend imho at doing the more simple things and resource handling is very good

never did understand all the hype around vIM, its <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> imo

Kate is good, but I have recently started using KDevelop (I think they have the same editor component).

I own a copy of the latest Zend and I like it, but KDevelop has a better interface (but I haven't got code completion as good yet).

After reading these submissions, I switched from BBEditLite on my Mac to the Project Builder that comes with the development tools. Big improvement. I'm still going to experiment with some of the other items mentioned for my Linux machine.
