Other: HTMLkit. Works for everything. With lots of featues, one click insertion of common html tags, and customizable syntax highlighting. Lots of great PHP plugins.

And it's free!

Really? I've been very impressed so far - but it's only been a week. What bugs did you encounter?

PHPEd does the job

I have to say I was quite impressed with PHPEd. Although I have to say, I find it equally easy to hand code using HomeSite.

I use PHP Designer 2005, it has syntax highliting for PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, and many forms of SQL. It also features a debugging feature which i find handy. It has a "tabbed" browsing feel to it so its easy to switch back and forth between files.

I worked on Apple the past years, I used BBEdit for all mij codes, works great on a Mac.
Now I switched to a PC and do all mij coding with Dreamweaver MX.

Editplus (Windows): simple, fast loading/quitting, syntax highlighting, customisable auto-completion, global seek and replace...supports php, html, css, etc, etc.

On linux I just stick with vi/vim - why bother improving on near perfection...:)

Hi,

I use an 'other' one: It's called ConTEXT.
I use it cause it's small, nice highlightning, can set anchors/marks on code lines, and most important: is able to intend blocks not just lines.
(only one thing missing: folding feature for code blocks like functions)
website can be found here
http://www.context.cx/

The other 'other' one I use is jEdit.
It support the missing folding feature from ConTEXT.

It would be my fav, too, if it worked.

When I ran a test file, phpiinfo(), the editor stripped out the html. Posts to their forum proved fruitless. I can't really put any faith in a product that is supported only on the weekends.
