Editor used for PHP

Bunkermaster

Hi all,

as I was reading this http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10209795 I wondered what editor you guys use in your OS.

I run Windows ( :eek: ). I edit my code in the MSE (Microsoft Script Editor - Word macro editor - really the core of the Visual Studio hidden in MSWord and thus free of charge 😃 Weeeee!) the PHP syntax coloring sucks but It's HTML coloring is great and there are a lot of interesting features (autocompletion... you know).

What's your OS and what do you use?

Please, not VI I know it's the best text editor in the world...
:rolleyes:

Windows are my OS and I used PHPEd as the editor. Now I mostly use CodePad. The best syntax colouring is in Homesite but this editor is not free :-(

I agree, Homesite has great syntax highlighting -- but PHPEd isn't free either, so what're you trying to tell us xentrix? 🙂

Bunkermaster

busted 😃

xentrix

Largo: I´m sorry I have some old version that´s still free ;-) But Codepad is free surely! ;-)

I use UltraEdit - supports highlighting for just about every language under the sun - very stable and, now that i'm used to it, I can't really stand anything else.

i think its a fixation since when i went to a tech school, this is all we used to code in.. my fav thing about editplus is that it has the file-explorer frame to the left, so i dont have to spend time opening files with the dialog (im a lazy fuck)

plus it supports any templates, and you can make your own-> so it can basically syntax highlight ANY language, from XML to actionscript to qbasic (if you wanted)

it also has a lot of useless crap, which is its best feature :rolleyes:

oh yeah, with html docs -> it has an internal browser to make editing simple, screen shots = http://editplus.com/screen.html

I run Win XP Professional with PHP 4.2.3 configured as an ISAPI module for IIS 5.1.

I use SourceEdit, a free scripting editor with some basic highlighting.

It supports syntax/highliting for :

ASP, PHP, SQL, C++, C#, ColdFusion, CSS, HTML, Java, Pascal, Perl, Visual Basic, and XML.

oh yeah, you can check it out a www.sourceedit.com

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

stuartc1

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

Bunkermaster

indeed.

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