Vim!
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing, available for the original *nix OS, and Windows (works PERFECTLY).
It's very very secure (Read modus, Insert modus, etc etc..), Highlighting of a LOT syntaxes, supports even compiling! One of the things i miss in other: Choose the fileformat (Unix, DOS, Mac).. and for php, the best offcourse is Unix.
Zend, is offcourse the best if you want an advanced application which works with projects and compiles, but it's pretty heavy (java i believe), you still need to look for descriptions online, and is expensive.
Vim, is free, and the best imho!

I give my favourite to Homesite. I'm using it from few years and I'm still impressed
- easy to work with and have the all things I want. Combined with TopStyle it is marvelous fully operational website creator (including graphical programs of course). Recently I was forced to install Dreamveawer, cause of the group work functions included. Of course I still don't like Macromedia because of buying Allaire
but I can say that it's my second best.
It's awesome. When you add your site (or it's core files) to a project, ALL your functions are available at your fingertips, it debugs current and all required files. It also skips stuff like DB connects till a second pass so you still know if all the code is good... which is greatBigE wrote:I really like Zend Studios also. Its an awesome program... has a lot of nifty features. I love it. jason was right when he saidVery, very powerful! nuff said.
I love it. Albeit it's now not free... you can still get a slightly reduced version free.
Add the fact that Zend is in on php, and you have yourself a great editor.

I reckon I'm gonna try some PHP editors that were coded in PHP
Same here. But I use winsyntax (a free program I got it on the net) along because Dreamweaver MX can't interpret .tpl filesSinnix wrote:I use Dreamweaver MX... mostly because when I got this job... that's what they gave me.I used to use TextPad before Dreamweaver got decent PHP integration... but because I'm more of a designer than a programmer... I like sticking with my Macromedia Suite.
I can't believe it is still going
I can't believe this discussions keeps poping up.
I was having trouble upgrading php with the editor and enviroment that it came with so good by to phpEd. Pretty good editor but to much trouble to upgrade its parts.
I did find a pretty neat editor for free called maguma at http://www.maguma.com
There are several versions to download that could cost, but if you already have a development enviroment set, you can get a free one.
It isn't the best editor but it has all the usual stuff plus a debugger.
For nothing I am willing to accept some limitations.
