I am using ActiveState Komodo:

This is a very cool and easy-to-use Multi-language editor. In the last version, there is some new features.

I did not try any other PHP editor.

I think it is the Windows Operating System that manage the strings on these button and are not the software... So you have a French version of Windows, right?

EditPlus 2.2

It's my all round favourite editing app for PHP, HTML, JS.... anything really.

I like the fact you can give a file any extesion you like ( .include for example) then tell EditPlus that it's a PHP file and it will be treated as such.

It highlites all of the PHP/HTML/JS (etc) commands correctly... and if it doesn't recognise any newer commands (like imagecreatetruecolor) you can add them in.

Makes life very easy for editing multiple text based files as well.

Dreamweaver is becoming a pain...

I don't have a powerful system and this thing running + my server + browser + other apps is such a stress on my system it acutually is starting to reduce my time efficently in coding.

What is a really good editor that has standard syntax highlighting and is very small in size?

vim is good. Yes, you have to learn how to use it. But it does alot of what most editors do, and a lot more. And it's light weight, and has more syntax highlighting than many other editors out there.

EditPlus2..... it loads in about 2 seconds flat on my humble 400mhz and doesn't eat up resource...... just whack the name into Google or Yahoo and you should find the download easily enough.

Ditto what Gen-ik said about EditPlus. AFAIK, Macromedia products in general seem to require huge amounts of memory.

I use Zend Studio and like it.

However, I like Quanta for KDE very much as well, but haven't tested it recently since all my linux / FreeBSD machines have been non X-Window machines since january.

Instead, I joined the "quanta@mail.kde.org" list to see what's happening.
Conclusion. Bugs bugs bugs. I start wondering. Who writes all those bugs? :wink:

Noone should expect a CVS HEAD version to be stable of course, but many of the bugs reported seem so trivial one wonders how they get there in the first place.

However, anyone running *nix should give it a try.

I have been using Maguma Studio for about 3 months now, and have really enjoyed it. The free version is ok, but the share version does not cost much and the guys at Maguma work hard to fix any issues.

I think they are in the early stages of a great product that will only get better.

Thanks. I'll give Edit Plus a go.

From the looks of the screen shots it's just what I'm looking for.

btw i got a p3 650mhz, 128 mb sdram. If you use dreamweaver with anything like this you should seriously consider a new editor. =P

and the benefits of all the others that people have put out there, aside form tech support, are either in xemacs or could be... it's just a matter fo you not being too lazy to make the module and send it in.

but i think they are all there... not a memory hog, supports php, js, css, html, xml, anything else web related, integrated debugger (if you wish to install it and turn it on), syntax highlighting, parenthesis highlighting, etc
