hi guys

 

please advise me on a free best php editor which fixes bugs and autocomplete my code thanks once again

Window or Linux? If your on Linux, have a look at Kate, kdevelop, (C++ compiler, but also can handle PHP, CSS etc..) Both have syntax highlighting, auto complete, sessions, and can be set up to format indent your code in several different styles C style, Pyton, Lisp etc... Personally I use Kate with C style indentation.

By the way, no editor will fix bugs.... That's your job!

I use Dreamweaver myself but I've heard textpad is pretty good

Having used probably every Windows based solution out there I have my opinions, however you know what they say about opinions, everyone has one You should try a few and see what you like best

 

Here is some reference materials:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PHP_editors

http://free-php-editor.com/

 

Unfortuantely using your requirements, and those listed there are only a few that fit your needs. I would narrow it to:

http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/ (site seems to be down at the moment)

http://aptana.com/

http://netbeans.org/

In that order. I would try them out and see what you like.

 

If you are running an open source project or you want to send some money I would strongly recommend phpStorm as that is what I use now after switching from Zend Studio

Good luck!
