Php Editor?

[Robert]

Hiya,

Lately I've gotten back into php and want to toy around with the language and develop little scripts to help me increase my php knowledge.

I've recently programmed a mailing list for a friend and used notepad.. however, I'm interested in trying out some php editior programs that can maybe do some debuging for me and maybe even include some codes I can use into my script?

What php editior do you guys use and which one do you recommend?

Thanks a bunch! :banana: :banana:

If you're using windows, then I highly recommend ultraedit (http://www.ultraedit.com) for any editing, especially programming. The project functions are incredibly nice, the fact that you can edit the file without it actually being on your physical pc is even nicer.

I second opinion re Ultraedit.

For debugging you'll want Komodo or PHPeD

Latter doesn't debug very well (or at all...) and is very quirky. Former is memory leak city Arizona.

I'm a big fan of Editplus, used it for years.

back when I mainly worked on windows (I'm using osx now, and bbedit or vim for textediting), I liked ultraedit, though I got stuck on EditPlus it had pretty much all the stuff I needed...

Also there're products from Maguma and Zend. Never tried them but I think they both offer free versions for download.

Zend has nice features but may be very slow at times. I'm using PHPEdit now. Not exactly the best but enough for me.

I use Homesite. It's a pretty nice editor with code highlighting and stuff but it doesn't do debugging (at least not in the version I'm using - it may be better in the new version).

One of my favourites for big work is phpedit latest dev version is stable good sintax highlighting, debugger can be a little awkward to get working but visit the forums and loads of help their!
