I don't use notepad for my php programming anymore I use Crimson Editor

I got it free on a MicroMart CD, but i'm sure you could find it on download.comIt's a great alternative.

Go try PHPEdit, you'll be amazed.

Use Linux and kde....so you can use Kate this is the best editor .!

I like Crimson Editor. Has anyone tried Zend? Is it worth the money? I hear great stuff - CVS support is the latest attractant.

I love work in Ultraedit (http://www.ultraedit.com/)I think, it is the best editor around. I use it not only for PHP coding but for any coding I made - Perl, JSP, HTML even Delphi - and all in one interface, you know, you can add macroses there and do all you want.

I actually still use Notepad most of the time, even though I downloaded jEdit and it works great.

HiI use notepad for now since i am a beginner. There is so much already confusing me that i will try other editors when i know my stuff. In the meantime i have downloaded and installed Editpad lite which was recommended to me. The interface looks really nice but haven't tried it yet.Has anyone here used it?Patrick

I just use notepad. No messy HTML or anything!

I use right now in conjunction Editpad Lite and Notepad. For some dumb reason my notepad doesn't save php files so I had to get editpad. I was wondering if there is any small size "pads" to download?Relatively smaller than 600Kb or so?

is it better than EditPlus 2? i like my codes in color actually, and every line numbered to get to the problem code whenever it spews an error.

Go try PHPEdit, you'll be amazed.

i use PHPEdit too its really helpfulit highlights syntax, helps debug your code, has downloadable plugins, its free, and you can use it for php, asp, and html

download it here

i'm just a newbie with the php so im using notepad, i don't understand most of the stuff so im still reading tutorials to then download the edit program x_x.. so where can i download PHPEdit? buuh Mr. Notepad will be mad at me xD

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver MX For Edit PHP Code Or Design WebSite

traitors of notepad... NOTEPAD is 'still' the greatest mad.gif .... blink.gifNotepad loads in less than a second unlike any editor.. its good lookin charms just a blank page blink.gif how could do such a thing to Mr.Notepad like that? ph34r.gif


Notepad rules all, so does toilet paper wink.gif

Woo0o0o0o0o someone who agrees with me!
I dont like ediors with extra features, they always just distract me! I like the blank screen, otherwise I end up with it telling me Ive done a million things wrong, where the error lies in the line at the top where Ive missed a bracket!
I much prefer just saving it, then viewing it in my browser, to see what the version of PHP on the server thinks of it, not someone elses random software which imitates PHPs reaction (I know some are better than others)

Go Notepad!

I've never really used Notepad for anything. My site's hosting has a built in HTML editor (text based, not WYSIWYG), so I've never had a need for outside programs. My friend suggested a program called "NoteTab Light" but really, that's the same story. Are there really any benefits to using Notepad?
