php editor suggestions

Post by bloodl »

hi all.

I have been using dreamweaver and notepad++, but I really want something that can tidy my code and give me more hints (I am still learning).

Are there any free php editors that can be highly recommended?

Any feedback would be great!

cheers,
Doug

eclipse is the best one that i have come across for development in PHP.

TsWebEditor is also a better editor for PHP learning.

PhpEd from NuSphere is very good. Personally I feel it has a more polished interface and makes for a better working environment than any of the free IDEs, though I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me!

When I was on windows, I always used Notepad++, nice and lightweight and does exactly everything I wanted and no more - I'm not a fan of bloated software!

Notepad++
I don't want my editor giving me suggestions or advice, any more than I want my dratted car talking to me.

We have 2 topics on editors already. One is even stickied at the top of this forum. Please discuss this there.

Locking topic.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
