Psycho Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well "best" is subjective. I prefer PHPEdit by WaterProof: http://www.phpedit.com/en There are way too many features to list. But, my favorite is that, in addition to auto-complete for functions, once the function name is complete and you are inside the parameter list of a function - there is a hover block that shows you the function name, a description of what it does, as well as a list of the parameters. There are inconsistencies in how some functions expect their arguments and I hate having to look up the argument list. Case in point: array_map() and array_walk(). These perform similar processes. But, the first two arguments are switched. array array_map ( callable $callback , array $arr1 [, array $... ] ) bool array_walk ( array &$array , callable $funcname [, mixed $userdata = NULL ] ) maybe there is some logic to that, but I can never remember it. So, I really appreciate that feature in PHPEdit.

PeoMachine Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/). Has a good code highlight, good autocomplete, is thin and beautiful.

Barand Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 In my case it's Nusphere's PHPEd. Crammed with features. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/266845-what-is-the-best-coding-editor-program/#findComment-1368067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Locked for both being off-topic (asking about editors has nothing to do with PHP coding help), and because we have a stickied topic about just this thing in the Miscellaneous section: http://forums.phpfreaks.com/index.php?topic=277416.0 Protip: The other sections of this forum all exist for a reason.
