gtal3x Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Many ppl say dreamweaver is a good editor. My opinion is that dreamweaver is too heavy as a program an has too many options that u dont even need... and its very expesive to buy. My option is to use [b]Maguma Studio[/b] Very good editor (not free but am using it for nearly 6 months for free and it doesnt lock) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-392479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcd Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I use DevPHP. I've tried all the free editors suggested in this thread, but I'll be sticking with DevPHP because it has the most intelligent syntax highlighter.http://devphp.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-404823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 So far, my favorite editor has been DreamweaverAlthough it's the only one I've really used.....a lotand I can't get enough of the RegEx find and replace feature. I don't kow what I'd do without itAnyone of these editors have this feature...I'd like to try something else. Dreamweaver's annoying to install, even though it's just Next next next but it seems like it installs way too much and takes too long for me to motivate myself to install it again after reformatting which I've done.Can I get this feature from eclipse Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-416596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywesselman Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I read through all the posts and didn't see e so I'll throw it out there.[url=http://www.e-texteditor.com/]http://www.e-texteditor.com/[/url]It's very similar to Textmate, so if you use Windows you have an alternative. It will edit pretty much anything.

Aureole Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I seriously recommend PHP Designer 2008, it's not free - but it's not expensive and it's worth the price.

alecks Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 http://geany.uvena.de/Incredibly light weight but the syntax highlighter is super customizable; tell it to highlight a certain file extension a certain way and it will, no questions.

spasme Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I use Dreamweaver for basic HTML, tables, layouts, forms and CSS. I think its great for these because of the Design/Split view mode. For PHP and others I use Zend. I only descovered Zend Studio a few months ago and i'm pleased to say that it's made the PHP coding alot easier. I've also been playing around with Zend Guard and Zend Optimizer... great products. I've recently, based on your posts, tryed Eclipse. It's also a great product. I'm amazed its free I'm can't point out why but I still prefer tu use Zend for PHP coding.

wen1900 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Didn't see a mention of NetBeans- the 6.5 beta just came out with support for PHP. It's got the typical features like code-completion, FTP, debugging support etc... and also has a pretty decent SQL editor and database explorer. The download is also relatively small (20mb for OSX). There're some bugs here and there, but hey it's a beta. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-620160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenZ Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well in my opinions Notepad++ project is the best php/html/css and other (more than 50 languages) code editor! http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-623951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphOrange Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Expression Web is pretty good, not Free, but not as expensive as Dreamweaver. I think it's about half price.

JasonLewis Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 +1 for Notepad++, my favourite so far. I found Eclipse to be a memory hog and become relatively slow. Also can take a while to load up. Notepad++ is fast, efficient and has many good plug-ins and a *fairly* good community.

Mchl Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Just to let you all know NetBeans 6.5 is now Generally Available.

phant0m Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 if you're content with a very basic editor, PSPad is very nice. It's lite and customizable with scripts, it also has good syntax highlighting.

Speedy84 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My favorite editor is without a doubt Eclipse PDT. @zanus: There's a plugin called Regex Util. Haven't tried it myself, but i'll install it now and I'll come back with a "report" when I've tried it out It is a eclipse plugin to help create regular expressions (regex). The goal is to make it as easy and as fast as possible to create regex. Main features: full highlighting of regular expression syntax including bracket matching and error detecting; tooltips will be shown when the mouse is over a part of the regex; generation of string literals based on the regexp' date=' e.g. "(x)" becomes "(x)"; Search for regular expression and highlight matches.; LiveEval evaluates your regular expression while you are typing.[/quote'] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-884289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy84 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 From what I've experienced so far it works pretty well... when i hold the mouse over the pattern it displays information about that part and so on.. Thanks for making me look up this plugin. I have little to no knowledge about regex, so this will be really usefull for me! also what i like is the direct access to the function list inside Eclipse.. you can highlight a function in your document and press Shift+F2 and it'll open the online manual page for that function.. as well as a full listview of all functions like several people here including me has said already... Eclipse PDT is a great editor Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-884313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindaugas Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 My vote goes for Notepad Plus Plus (Notepad++). It`s free, not huge in size, have a lot of languages aviable like php,html etc etc. Much more functions i haven`t try Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31406-editors/page/2/#findComment-990916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

oni-kun Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 CodeGear Delphi for PHP ftw Interesting choice.. Don't know why it should cost like so though. VIM + PHP syntax hilighting ftw.

Daniel0 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 VIM + PHP syntax hilighting ftw. You can integrate that with PHP Unix man pages as well to get the full documentation. pear channel-discover doc.php.net pear install doc.php.net/pman Now you should be able to access PHP documentation like pman strpos. Then it's just a matter of setting keywordprg to pman for PHP files in vim.
