mikesta707 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 NetBeans has a preview option I think. Eclipse might also. I use Dreamweaver, which I consider one of the (if not the) best web developer IDE that I've used. That isn't technically free, but you can get it for free pretty easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergrame Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 yea i have dream weaver, its got a little to many features that just clutter the area up but yea it is a good one. I used to have a good on i just can't remember the name i think it was like php edit or something my mate referd me to it but that was over 2 years ago and i don't no if it was free!

jpiercemaine Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't use the preview portion but I use Aptana Studio..... FREE and allows you to have multiple files open from multiple ftp connections (saving to correct server upon ctrl+s... bonus for me and reason i dropped dreamweaveer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misheck Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I use phpdesigner and its quite cheap, has a preview option which can preview yoursite in IE, Firefox,Opera and any other browser you want to configure it with. You can download a demo version for 30days so you could try that first here is the link http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamza Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 zend studio 5.5 is the best one to code in php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merylvingien Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Does anyone actually use the preview part of dreamweaver? I havent used it for a couple of years. the preview doesnt work properly with css styled sites anyway, so i always preview within a browser!

premiso Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 This has been hammered many times and there is even a sticky located at: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,277416.0.html As such, hamza and merylvinglen, please do not revive dead / old topics. Create a new topic if you wish to discuss Dreamweaver's capabilities. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Moronic Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 second zend studio. Used notepad++ for a long long time, then tried dreamweaver which I find totally overrated and just...ewww... and then came along zend studio. Incredible piece of kit and perfect for php development.
