Chips Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 An alternative to vim is context - just do a quick search for context + editor + text or something :) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14312-can-someone-recommend-a-php-editor/#findComment-56344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simcoweb Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Even though i'm a total noob, this one has been a great tool and has all types of built in libraries of common PHP/HTML/XML/JAVASCRIPT functions and code. Highly rated, reivewed by the big software shareware freebie sites, etc. etc.PHP Designer 2006 = [url=http://www.mpsoftware.dk/]http://www.mpsoftware.dk/[/url] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14312-can-someone-recommend-a-php-editor/#findComment-56351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Personally, i find phpdesigner 2006 a really great editor. If you download the php file then it passes your code and checks for syntax errors; because thing like ' " ( and { must also have a closing ' " ) }, it puts two of them in if you type one and positions the cursor in the midde(this can be turned off); if you highlight an opening or closing bracket (/) it highlights the other to help with checking logic. And of course it does things like syntax highlighting and giving function prototypes.

ShogunWarrior Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I have been using PHP Expert Editor for a long time.I find it has all I need plus a built-in server, code highlighting, FTP upload (you can save a file and it will upload automatically).http://www.ankord.com/phpxedit.htmlI recommend downloading 3.3 because it is more lightweight than 4.0 and faster loading.
