Best php editor? tell me?

[xelloss 0]

Can somebody tell me which is the best PHP Editor? I have tried the DzSoft Editor and the Svoi.net PHP editor. Among them the first one is better. Is there any better editor available in terms of built in features?

I think editplus is the best php editor. . .it support multi language such as c/c++, java, perl, php, cgi, asp , html. . . & sql etc.any it has lots of highlighter, it make the script clearer.I've tried using phpedit, zendsudio , notepad etc. but editplus is the best.

You mean there are software like Frontpage that specially cater to PHP? Wow, i didn't know that. Are such editors the same as Frontpage for editing PHP as FP is for HTML? Are there editors for CSS, JS, etc?

No... Edit Plus (which I use too, it's great!) and others "understand" PHP (and other programming languages). What is simply does it highlights the reserved words and tabulates automatically.

So that means that you can actually try the php code you've writtnen on your computer without having to download the php modules first? You do have to have PHP enabled on your computer first right?

No, editplus (or other PHP editors) will not execute the code for you, it will only make it easier to edit and indent.

You will still have to first set up a web server (I recommend Apache) and install the php modules for it in order to test php scripts on your own computer. They have easy installations for windows, if you go to apache.org and php.net.

In my PHP Tutorial I suggested an open source web editor for Windows and I came across tsWebEditor, if you have PHP installed on your own system, it also provides previewing, but it's not WYSIWYG, but WYSIWYG can sometimes produce messy code.

 

I had to search for an editor that would be suitable for people to use and that is what I came across, I even tested it to make sure it served it's purpose well, it supports syntax highlighting, syntax error checking and more features, but the one I would have to say is good, is the quickinfo. You type the start of a PHP function like mktime() and it'll tell you what parameters you can pass in a C style syntax as well as what mktime will be producing, an integer.

 

I'll test out these other editors that have been suggested and I'll rank them from what I see if better or not, provided they have evaluation versions or are free.
