didn't know ESPN.com had a php forum 😉 (alt+printscreen snapshots the client area only and not the whole screen)

    I use PHP Edit (not PHPEd), PHP Edit is 100% free and has some great features like code hylighting, integrated debugging and auto complete. Its beta versions a great, but a little buggy at times.
    I agree that homesite is pretty damn good (I use to use Coldfusion Studio), I like the fact it has an extended find and replace - lots of others seem to forget this feature can be handy.

    Eh.. yeh.. my OS is Win NT and I run PHP 4.1.2.

    PHPEdit is at http://www.phpedit.com

      PHPEdit had a banner contest (think they're french right?) here is a funny one

        its a good attempt - very original don't you think?

          Hehe :-)))
          Very nice banner ;-)

            Hehe.. I actualy ran across that one recently too. Hey... sex sells, right?

            At any rate, I use a program called HTML-Kit. It's actually a very powerful program, I can't even begin to list all the features it encompasses. It's 100% free now too, but really the big reason I use it is because it has a built in FTP browser, so I can work on files directly off my development server from any location.

            I haven't been able to find another program that really integrated an FTP browser into the editor interface; if anybody knows of such a program I would be extremely interested in some more info. It's a feature I cannot live without now, and although I'm very fond of HTML-Kit, I'd be interested to see some competing software.

            edit: Oh yes, this on on my main Win98 & 2k boxes. I think they are developing a Linux ver., although it has been succesfully tested under WINE. When on my Slackware box I mostly just use VI.

              Both EditPlus and UltraEdit can open/save files over FTP. I'm sure there are plenty more.

                I'm not sure I have tried UltraEdit, but I used to use Editplus. As far as I can remember, there was no integrated FTP browser. By integrated with the IDE, I mean that you can create folders in your explorer bar that you can navigate like local folders. This screenshot might clarify what I mean.

                Or did I just miss the one real feature I can't seem to find in all the IDE's I've used?? 😕

                  That is quite integrated - UltraEdit only displays local and network drives in the files list.

                  All the files I work on are on networked drives anyway, so I don't have to suffer FTP at all 🙂

                    Well at home, I have my web folders mounted locally via Samba. But I do so much work on my server from remote locations, it really cuts into my development time when simply opening a file is a 3 or 4 step process.

                    HTML-Kit is a great app, but I'm just surprised I haven't seen this is any of the numerous editors I have tried. I actually like the 'feel' of Editplus a little better, though.

                      I'll submit it, as a feature request, to the UltraEdit developers and see what they say.

                        I tried using PHP Edit for a bit, but I had problems when testing using apache on the same machine. Now I use AnyEdit. Ok, its still in its alpha state, but its very very good.

                          I do most of my coding on Linux using vim and when I have to work on windows I use maguma light.
                          cheers,

                            I used Homesite for about 2 years, but then I ditched windows 100%

                            I flirted with Quanta and Bluefish bit I'm a recent Vim convert, it's very powerful....though I'm only just scratching the surface

                              Whats so good about this vim everyone is banging on about ? and is it available for windows ?

                                is VIM a VI spinoff? If so then I understand why peeps like it 🙂
                                In my days I gave trainings on how to use VI with just 2 normal hands 😉
