Eclipse + PHP Eclipse has both of those, plus comment collapsing and in-editor syntax checking ... and it's free (and runs on Linux and Windows).Flamie wrote:I love dreamweaver, mostly because of the following features:
-code collapsing, very useful when you have big classes and you want to "close" functions to have a better view of what is where
-Intellisense, allowing you to see function paremeters without going thru php.net
What's your favourite PHP Editor?

Ecllipse is no replacement of Dreamweaver's many other cool design features. However, Zend has a project to port their IDE tools to Eclipse, so it will probably become the tools standard for PHP like it is for Java.
If you try out Eclipse, also get the ESFTP plugin for SFTP'ing files to the web server. Plugins (like PHP Eclipse and ESFTP) are easy, you just unzip them into the Eclipse/plugins folder.

SciTE is my text editor of choice for all the languages that I program in. It's lightweight, has syntax highlighting, tabs and export to pdf just to name a few features. Highly recommended for even just the casual developer. I also find it a great substitute for notepad, as it loads just as quickly.

i use notepad++ ----> http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/about.php
I've tried many IDEs, and I always end up going back to TextPad. Nothing else is as easy to use. Plus, Textpad works with loads of other things I have to edit like Perl.si_davis wrote:TextPad is nice, quick and simple for me... One of these days I'll have to get a decent (free & legit) IDE for the extra features though.

Good morning,
I have two computers, HOPE and SUCCESS.
1°)In HOPE, I have installed, windows xp, the mandriva 2006 and kubuntu 5.10 breezy, so when I do PHP on windows, I use Dreamweaver 2004 as an editor and on mandriva 2006 or kubuntu 5.10, I prefer using vi.
2°)In SUCCESS, I have installed, windows xp and debian sarge, therefore, when I work PHP on windows, I prefer phpEdit as an editor and on debian, I use emacs when coding with PHP, in order to vary and master defferent editor.

The best PHP editor in my point of view so far..
Multifunctional Script Editor as Notepad is the best since it's totally free (don't think to much about Microsoft invansion 1st) but again, Macromedia Dreamwaver is really for all the best that web can do! Anyway, is there anyone can help me to find the comparison (advantages and disadvantages) of ASP.Net, PHP, CFM, and JSP? Just give me the link or if you have templates, plz send it to my email. Thanks..
