What's your favourite PHP Editor?
If you have a favourite editor for PHP (or want to advertise one you have created) this is the thread to do it in (there's also lots of info here: viewtopic.php?t=2911).
Please give a link to the product's homepage (if available) and give an indication which platforms it runs on and what (if anything it costs).
Ta very much,
Mac

I use PHPEdit on my windowsbox.I simply copy&paste the feature overview list from the homepage
Since I really like debuggers I won't recommend an IDE without
If you're used to javadoc, doxygen or similar you will also appreciate the help-generator. Syntax highlighting includes matching braces.
Always get the latest (complete) development version, stable lacks many features and imho isn't more stable than recent dev. versions.
edit: oh, I just became aware that some dev.versions really are development! versions. The latest update crashes on my computer far too often
It's small (about 6MB; 1.24MB current version update) and quite fast.* Syntax Highlighting
* Code Hint, Code Insight
* Integrated PHP debugger
* Help Generator
* Customizable shortcuts
* More than 150 scriptable commands
* Keyboard templates
* Todo report generator
* QuickMarks
* Plugins

my fav is EmEditor by EmuraSoft :: http://www.emurasoft.com/emeditor3/
it is very light weight with tons of options. i use it for the majority of all my text editing.

Editplus - I've been using it since I got really irritated with Notepad whilst coding 'my first website' and now I'm sort of thinking I need something more but I really like Editplus.jason wrote:c'mon twigletmac, which one do you use?

Scarily enough, I use ColdFusion Studio. We have ColdFusion at the office, even though we no longer use it (yay PHP!). However, the editor studio has customizable colour schemes for a whole slew of languages. Also, the global find/replace functions are really useful at times. Granted, there is not a PHP code checker, but I never use them anyways.
What I would like is something like PHP Edit, but with customizable colour schemes. *sigh* Maybe I should just give in and write my own finally.

Been using 2 of them lately, Komodo and Anjuta. Both have their ups and downs, but the only features of an editor that I consistently use are code highlighting, braces matching, code folding, and tabbed editing.
Cool thing about anjuta is that you can have a terminal in the bottom pane, so I can do my Mysql stuff in the same window, as well as move directories around, etc.
Komodo is nice because it reads my include files to figure out my functions and suggest them, which Anjuta doesn't do because it was designed to be a C++ IDE.
Haven't tried Zend studio, do they have a good trial program or free version? I'm too lazy to look it up...
