php editor to buy?!

fatnjazzy

hi
im looking for so long to buy normal php-html editor.
i need:

code navigation
autocomplete for htmlTAGS+values, php functions+vars.
by saying autocomplete i mean when i hit "<" the editor opens select box with sudgestions like:<html <a and so.
support hebrew and thats all

the best i saw is the php expert editor 3.3 and htmlkit but it doesnt support autocomplete for php functions.
the max limit price it 100$
thanks alot

I tested almost every editor and the most complete coding editor (not IDE) is macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 for html, css and php

Yep I've tried quite a few and i would only recommend using Dreamweaver 2004.

You can download a trial from the macromedia site.

Its more than $100 but i'd recommend saving up the extra as its a big help.

i think that PHP expert editor provides a lot more than zend, and cost like 10% of him.

Eclipse is free... and has HTML/PHP support with the phpEclipse plugin.
www.eclipse.org

Its very, very nice, and supports C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, etc. through plugins as well.

Take a look at the code. All I did here was vbCode a size tag. And not to drop a gauntlet, but since you use the plural, how many others are you complaining about? 😉

I use editplus (http://editplus.com/) and dreamweaver 2004 mx. This is after trying many others including PHP Edit, eclipse, PHP Designer, etc.

I like editplus because its simple but feature full. Good spell checker, supports multi programing languages, works well under wine in linux, and is customizable. Cost $30

I love dreamweaver because you can do just about anything with it, But it cost $300+. There are many extensions available for it and it is very easy to use. It also use PCRE regular expressions in its search/search and replace (same regex engine as one of php's), which can make script hacking allot easier, plus it helps when your trying to create complex regular expressions for scripts.

I guess dalecosp didn't use enough highlighting there. Follow the link he provided to see why.
