Dreamweaver alternatives

Post by m3mn0n »

I like using dreamweaver because it had the syntax highlighting. I think that is the single most important element any php compiler should have. If not, it's just notepad with a few tweaks.

I recently lost my CD for Dreamweaver and i can't find a trustworthy ilegal source to download it from so is there any free alternatives?

Thanks. :)

Check out EditPlus - http://www.editplus.com

A great text editor with syntax highlighting and other cool stuff.

Just so someone doesn't tease you in a job interview, what you meant to say was "editor", not compiler. :wink: The compiler doesn't really care if a variable is printed in green, lavendar, or "You look smashing!" pink.
