Nobody uses Notepad on windows???? 
On Windows that's what I use. On Unix I use Emacs.
Editor used for PHP
I use notepad (when im stuck for anything else that is).
You cant complain about notepad, it does exactly what it says on the tin !!
I like notepad, edit and pico on linux.
I use macromedia homesite when I'm in need of a little search and replace action.

I am with you, dude. UltraEdit is the mad shiz0w. I even purchased the license because I am so happy with it. Ian is not only a really good developer though, he's a great business man as well. Any time I have had problems or lost my reg code, he has been prompt with always getting back to me withing the day (sometimes the hour!).
www.ultraedit.com is the site and I recommend everyone try it out.
When in Linux, as I always used to be before I got the job I am currently doing, I used a gtk app called Glimmer. It's almost as good as Ultraedit but the interface isn't quite as slick. glimmer.sf.net.
Cheers
I must say I am old fassion I use Note Pad I just can't find an editor that I like so I satay with note pad but if anyone can find one that is like note pad but with highlighting for PHP and HTML only I will be happy but that is all I want is highliting. Don't even say VIM I hate that to death.
Oh I am also running windows XP Home on my comp and if worse comes to worse I use the Command line editor all you have to do is open the cammand line and type edit and it pops up that is nice to use to 
OMG DOS edit? :eek:
XP's notepad has a nice goto line feature now though
use the MSE (noone uses it except me LOL)
Yea Dos Edit it is the cleanest writing text editer around on widows especialy for scripts lol But notepad is nice but I will check out the MSE .

For all your vi haters out there, you might be able to still use vim. http://cream.sf.net/ it's vim without the vi!
Still hate VIM to death LOL I will never use it. I tried that cream thing and now it dosn't even highlight anything find something simpler for me remember I am oldfassion I use Notepad and dos edit
Yeah, the last time I used cream it still had some issues with it. I kinda hoped they would have been smoothed out by now.
Personally I use bare vim with a few tweaks such as toning down tab size from 8 to 4 spaces. I hate 8 space tabs, especially with php code because you're intenting so much.
I like to indent 3 Spaces
Alot neater but I need to find a editor for php only or one that you can ser up for php and Html only
i use TextPad or notepad offcourse
it also has text-cploring,
also you can download modules into the text editor, and macro's
like creating HTML tables from plain text...
I'm using vi (or elvis, vim, or whatever vi-compatible editor) on linux boxes.
With windows, I use ultraedit, and frontpage (!) to 'prototype' the design.
BtW, I've discovered Smarty (http://smarty.php.net) some times ago and I like it.
Ultraedit has a syntax coloration extension to understand html+smarty in it, and it looks good.
Found a really nice php editor it is called Winsyntax you can get it here
it is nice the only problem is that you must save the file as php before it will hilight the code 
and the colors arn't the best but it works nice and simple.
I also use PHP-Edit. It's a great program. I use to do all of my coding in anything I could write in. And do debug tests, if it worked it worked, if It didn't... yeah. heh
I run both winXp pro, and Linux on a partioned western digital caviar HD.
you guys should try out winsyntax it is my new editor of choice
I tired the winsyntax out, it's pretty good. Like you said, nice and simple. And I like the file manager. But, I agree the coloring isn't that great.
Other than that, It's good.. and free which is always a plus.
Yea the coloring isn't the greatest but it gets the job done and you can't messit up easily and not as many buggs b/c it is simple Not that I am computer illiterate it is just that I am old fashion and like stuff that does it's job without a hassle.
I use Dreamweaver MX on Mac (at work) and WinXP (at home).
It does code completion for PHP and color-syntaxing.
I code valid XHTML 1.0 on it all the time, straight out of the box.
I used to use Homesite (on PC, on Mac DW4 but it sucks for pure coding), but now I find that DreamweaverMX beats the pants off Homesite. It can do everything Homesite could and more, IMHO.
It is a resource hog, like all the Macromedia MX products,
but so is Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
and since i rarely have anything else open but a couple of browsers when coding it doesn't much bother me
Yea that is cool but code completion may save on errors but it gets anoying at times to believe me I program in VB 6.0 Also a big problem with those editors is that they cost money I love open source software and freeware.
