jordanwb Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 As the title says I'm looking for a good text editor for PHP files. I've tried Vim but it's too cluttered for me. I'm looking for one that's clean, easy one the eyes, supports multiple open files and has syntax colouring. Thanks.

Stooney Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 There's plenty of threads about this, but I would suggest notepad++ edit: found the thread. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,54859.0.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95009-looking-good-php-editor-for-ubuntu-linux/#findComment-486686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Notepad++ doesn't support non-Windows operating systems from the looks of it. @jordanwb: I love vim, as do countless others, but its learning curve is too much for many people. Based on the countless stories I've heard of users who can't live without vim, I suggest you give it a try. (Go through vimtutor.) If you find that it's not quite what you wanted, I've heard that gphpedit and quanta are good choices.

zq29 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I use Geany, really good. I found Bluefish and Quanta to be a bit clunky. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95009-looking-good-php-editor-for-ubuntu-linux/#findComment-486862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanwb Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 I like Notepad++ unfortunetly there's no linux version as you said. I'll give Geany and Quanta a try.

jordanwb Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Really phpDesigner will work in Linux using Wine? That's cool. I like phpDesigner the best. The one thing I don't like about Geany is that I can't edit remote files. But also VLC media player can't play remote files either. ???
