writing php code

ketanco

Hi,
I have almost intermediate level of php knowledge now but i still use notepad to write my code...where can i download something for free, that will enable me to write php code more efficiently which will also not require a lot of time from me to learn how to use it? like a php editor - or i am not sure what should i call it...

second: I travel a lot and not connected to internet all the time...whan i am not online what can i install to my laptop so that when i write php code i can still see the output? any good recommendations on what to install and how?

Notepad++, Netbeans, Aptana would be just a few of your possible options.

WAMP (if on Windows), XAMPP (for most any type PC)

Personally I've never had any hassles with just individually installing the Web and database servers, PHP, and a couple of browsers on my laptop. I have had hassles with WAMP.
