scootstah Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've heard MAMP is good, to get your environment going. As for a text editor, in order to "correct" the syntax it will need intellisense. Usually simple text editors don't have that, and you'd need an IDE. Personally I use PHPStorm and recommend it over anything else, but it does have a cost associated (well worth it in my opinion). Usually they don't actually correct the syntax, but will generally let you know if there is a problem (trying to use an undefined variable/function/class/method, syntactical errors like missing $, semicolon, brackets, etc, incorrect arguments for functions, stuff like that).
