Tandem Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Can anyone reccommend a good program for writing and editing PHP? I've done a google search and looked at a few, but some reccommendations would be great. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Notepad ++ The best one that I have found. Plus its Open Source with plugins and you can create your own plugins for it. Very nice program. Never had a lick of trouble with it. Just wish it had an auto-backup (maybe it does) but yea. Great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandem Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Thanks. Is it capable of formatting my code for me? I can't see it on the site, and i've downloaded it and can't figure it out. Still looking for others to try too if anyone else has any reccommendations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desithugg Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Can anyone reccommend a good program for writing and editing PHP? I've done a google search and looked at a few, but some reccommendations would be great. Thanks in advance. Umm I use evrsoft first page 2006 it's a freeware program I found through google. Well it's free for the first month or so than the only thing is after that at start up it has a five second delay but that's not too much. It's a really good program in my opinion the code is colourd as you type, and if your doing some html you can even see how it may turn up at the bottom(depending on the view you have chosen). It has lots javascript and some other language freeware scripts within it, like games, dynamin content and etc... It also has some already set scripting input like you can go to (on the top menu bar) Scripting > php > include and it would inset <?php include('filename here.php'); ?> you get the point and the thing i like most about is it finishes your lines automatically for example you type <center> it will automatically add </center> <b> -> </b> and so on... Well yea I tried dreamweaver for a bit too but i preferred this it's alot easier to use. -hope this helps ~saad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandem Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Windows, Linux, Mac? Free, paid for? Windows, and i don't mind paying as long as the price is reasonable. I'm looking for something sort of like the Actionscript editor in Flash, but obviously for PHP rather than AS. Syntax Highlighting and auto-formatting are pretty much a must.

Koobi Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 if you could get used to using vim, you couldn't live without it. it doesn't have much as a base editor but it's totally customizable and you can add almost any feature you want. i have my vim setup with PHP doc enabled at the press of a button and syntax highlighting for a bunch of languages, auto complete, SVN, etc. the only draw back to using vim for a new user is that understanding its operating modes is pretty confusing the first time around but once you get used to it, its indispensible and it exists on every linux/unix machine by default.
