neylitalo Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm not sure that's the type of editor we're talking about - I believe it's supposed to be WYSIWYG editors. Ron, can you clarify?

obsidian Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 OK, I've officially made the switch from Dreamweaver to [url=http://www.eclipse.org]Eclipse[/url]. Not only is it a free alternative, but the extensions you can get for web development are out of this world! It supports SVN repositories to allow versioning of your apps. Besides that, you can install xdebug in your PHP installation, and it actually allows you to manually step through your code and debug like you would in a compiler for other languages. One other huge feature to me is the fact that it takes advantage of PHPDoc syntax and actually creates an ongoing outline of your entire application (all classes, functions and includes!).Very, very cool software. Also, if you're into Perl or Python for writing up any CGI scripts or other comparable sister code for your PHP, Eclipse has plugins that handle all your needs for those languages, too. Of course, it handles Java since that was it was made for, but I don't do any Java development on there.Very, very nice toolset. The [url=http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/]Weeb Tools Platform[/url] would be the best spot to start for people in here, most likely.

per1os Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I would have to say that www.eclipse.org is the best editor I have ever used. I agree 100% with Obsidian. I love the PHP Syntax Debugging feature!

deadimp Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 [url=http://pnotepad.org/]Programmer's Notepad 2[/url] - Open source, free, lightweight, highly configurable. The binaries are for Windows. There's also something called pypn, which I guess is pnotepad using python, but I haven't tried it yet.

Ninjakreborn Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I love eclipse.I was skeptical until I read obsidian's view. However I tried it. I have adobe's line on my desktop but nowI developer on the laptop some, and it's GREAT for having here.

topaz1968 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I add my vote to phpEd!! The address describing it: [url=http://www.nusphere.com/products/php_ide_major_features.htm]http://www.nusphere.com/products/php_ide_major_features.htm[/url] and it is actually one of the best IDE's I have tried, for any language, no kidding. It is intuitive, doesn't get in your way, can custom color highlight different kinds of code in different schemes in the same document, has very smart code completion for PHP that is smart enough to be able to show you your own classes functions and variables as choices, an AMAZING debugger that can even debug live applications and follow through after a submission on a form and keep debugging, a database client that is really intuitive and quick that lets you do cool things like drag and drop fields on your form. You really have to try the free trial version to believe how nice it is. There are videos on the web site showing the product in use, and I have been amazed to find it really is all they advertise and more. 8) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/#findComment-357219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukkyjay Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm just now starting to learn php for a project on my own site. I don't understand how a WYSIWYG would work with php, but that would be awesome if it were actually possible. Can you get specific about the best WYSIWYG for a beginner?
