[RESOLVED] Looking for a better PHP Editor - instead of Ubuntu's default Text Editor

[dvarsam]

Hello!

I am looking for a better PHP Editor Program.
I am currently using Ubuntu's "Applications\Accessories\Text Editor" program to type my PHP code...
But I have noticed that this Forum's [ php ] [ / php ] editor is looking better!
I also noticed the following problem:
Code that I write in Ubuntu's Text Editor, in Window's Notepad looks like this:

The above code is extremely hard to read!!!
The above happens for code that I create in Ubuntu's Text Editor & view in Window's Notepad...
Ubuntu Text Editor's line breaks are all merged into a single line in Window's Notepad.
I have also noticed that the opposite does NOT happen - i.e.:
Code that I create in Window's Notepad shows fine in Ubuntu's Text Editor.

Is there a PHP code Editor available for Ubuntu that is displayed properly/correctly on both Platforms (Windows & Linux)?

Thanks.

I think the solution is to get a better text editor on Windows. The problem is that Notepad is fixed on using Window's newline sequences. Ubuntu's text editor is able to recognise Window's newline sequences and display them properly.

There are a number of text editors listed here suitable for replacing Notepad, you just need to search the forums. I personally use Notepad++.

To make it easier to find when searching for editors (even though it has "Editor" in the thread's title when you are searching) it's listed in a FAQ.
