Can somebody suggest a high quality, web-based (AJAX enabled preferably) PHP code editor?

Any help appreciated - thanks!

I can't even begin to imagine why that would be a good idea.

Many hosting packages offer PHP support, but to make changes to your live code you need to do them locally and then upload them using FTP/SCP/etc. I would love to be able to cut the time uploading files and making the changes directly on the hosting server using a code editor and not simply a "file editor", which is what I do now from time to time.

Right. So you think it's a good idea to make changes to a file in a live environment without testing the changes on a local development PC or a staging server first? Just so you can save the time it takes to upload a file? Not sure I'd agree with that...

A lot of decent IDE's have FTP modules anyway, I know Eclipse does, and so does UltraEdit.

UltraEdit's FTP could use improvement but once you have the file loaded in a tab any changes you make are saved to the FTP version -- so thats nice.

As for a JS PHP editor...I think someone mentioned this a few days ago but

Some PHP based CMS systems include editors for php code snips, css, etc. You might take a look at how some of these packages implemented web-based php editing.

I used some other web-based code editor in the past but I don't recall what it was. There are a few out there, since web editing of server code is often needed.
