Until now, I've been using Quanta for all my PHP coding. It's a GREAT little program. Unfortunately, it's not available on windows, and I'm going to be working on a windows computer for a while. Quanta allows you to modify ALL tags (even create your own), as well as shortcut keys. For example, when you highlight code, and press ctrl+b, ZEND adds <b> in front and </b> at the end. In quanta you could edit that to make it add <span style="font-weight:bold;"> and </span> OR, you could make a custom tag (like I did), and set ctrl+b to work with that. Mine added { before and } after. It worked great for if I forgot to bracket variables inside strings, or if I decided that I wanted a whole chuck of commands inside a conditional. I'd just hi-light whatever it was, and hit ctrl+b, and it would get braces around it.
Any idea how I do this in ZEND Studio?
