Dreamweaver because I'm used to the syntax highlighting. It works good for commenting /* , //. Dreamweaver dosent have bracket highlighting too so it can be hard to find nested brackets if there are many.


I've treid komodo but it dosent pickup // comments as one line and ends up greying out all below. Abit bulky too for my liking but I've only tired it out on PHP scripts.

BBedit is pretty nice and quick. seems to have good syntax highlighting for php but no support for expanding and collasping brackets.


Operating system is Mac OS X.

I'm also using notepad to write code, but when on linux i just use kedit. operating system is both linux on one computer and windows on another. i'm starting to get into linux, but i need some programs on windows so that's why i'm using two computers.

the best editor you can get IMHO is PHPDesigner (Google it) and its free for personal use (which is why i use it)

It has syntax highlighting and copes very well with comments of both kinds. It also has hints when coding eg typing "mysql_connect()" brings up a tooltip above telling you what data it needs (host, username and password) It also autocompletes statements by adding the ending brackets and when you enter a quote (either single or double) it automatically adds the second, closing, quote for you do you dont forget.

It has these functions for many languages including C, CSS, HTML, Python etc.. and also a plain text editing function with no highlighting etc... and the ability to customize the highlighting.

Its perfect in every way really and it also includes a browser (based on IE i suspect) that you can use to view HTML files while creating them, it also works with PHP files providing you have set up a local server and configured the program to work with it.

I use windows XP and this program works fine on this and Vista. Im not sure about Nix systems but check the website. Same goes for Mac

Notepad all the way. Its simple, text editing, and that is all there is to it. One major advantage to using notepad (I've found) my coding skills have definately increased, I understand how things work, much better now. But I'd have to say that the best part is: it does not take 30-seconds to open... if anything it takes less than one second to load....

I do have dreamweaver, but all that I really use it for is spell-checking happy.gif

I use notepad for all my coding indcluding: html, php, and css.

Also, I am using Windows XP

I am using Ms Word as editor. Some times I use note pad and word pad also.Basically even DOS can be used as editor with proper extention to the file name.No problem at all.And I am using windows XP professional.But even dos is ok to code the php language.

I use notpade, but I've heard dreamweaver was supposed to be good and I thought about giving it ago until I heard what Shadowx said.

I think I'm going to give it a try and see if I like it, it really sounds great. I've found the most annoying part of notepad is that it doesn't indent inside brackets (something I'm used to from my C++ compiler) so i'll give that app a try and check it out.

I normally use Dreamweaver for this, but for quick edits I use Notepad++.

Not only does it have syntax highlighting, it also loads a lot faster than dreamweaver.

Though dreamweaver does have a lot nicer user interface and is a lot easier to code with.

I personally use Eclipse. Eclipse is an opensource program that is originally made for programming Java. But they have many extensions for programming C++ and some others.

They have an Add-on called PHPeclipse and that is what I use. It includes features to manage the mysql servers, and apache although I just use easyPHP for that. It supports highlighted syntax and realtime debugging. Also at the bottom is a intergrated browser to see your work realtime also. It has tons of cool features and I really like it. Better than notepad++ in case someone mentioned that already.

Well here is the link to the eclipse site and to the PHPeclipse add on download site.

Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/
PHPeclipse: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpeclipse/

I strongly suggest it if you are looking for an editor for advanced or beginning users.

Hope I was helpful.

i don't code php (i use xhtml+css), however if i did i would use textpad.

it is free, has highlighting for different syntaxes...

i am overwhelmed by this product, so i'll just give you some of textpad's features:

* Text can be automatically word-wrapped at the margin, or at a specified column, if it does not fit on a line. In this mode, text can be split into separate lines where wrapping occurs, or lines can be intelligently joined, preserving paragraphs.

* Toolbar with fly-by usage hints, and an active status bar.
* A powerful search/replace engine using UNIX-style regular expressions, with the power of editor macros. Sets of files in a directory tree can be searched, and text can be replaced in all open documents at once.

Usually, in all my web design project, I use Adobe dreamweaver CS3 because this program can realize several language that important in web design, we can design it with the preview, so if we make a mistake, is easier for us find our mistake. But , there are some alternative software to write your PHP.....

1. Notepad ++
You must try this software. First Notepad ++ is totally free editor application, small, run as fast as notepad, and small size with a good features. It also gives the extra functionality to the general user: colorize the user defined words. You can print your source code in color (or whatever you want) if you have a color printer (WYSIWYG). Furthermore, Notepad++ includes the multi-view feature, which allows the user to edit the different documents at the same time, and even edit the same document synchronously in 2 different views.
Notepad++ supports drag and drop: not only you can drop the file from explorer to open it, but also you can drag and drop a document from a view to another. With all the functionalities, Notepad++ runs as fast as Notepad provided by MS Windows. Supported languages for the moment: (c/c++/Java/html/xml/php/asp/vb/vbs/SQL/Objective-C/javascript/ini/makefile/MSDos Display). To find, google it.

2.phpDesigner 2008
The second tool is PHPdesigner 2008. This tools is so powerful and give so many excellent features such as Work with object-oriented programming (OOP), Intelligent syntax highlighting, Support HTML, XHTML, MySQL, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, Java, C#, Perl, Python and Ruby, Work with projects and frameworks, Support for real debugging, Enjoyable to use for hours and hours. But must pay for it.....

3.EditPlus
If you have try all above, and still unsatisfied, try this and Google it. But I'm not really like this software.

For my operating system I use Windows XP SP2, the most OS that used today. if you like you can install vista transformation pack 7.0, its really nice....

I use Notepad++ because of its high language compatibility with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and it is free. I use it to code HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Perl, and basically all of my other languages I program in. I will use Notepad maybe for like really simple applications.
