Sugestions for openSource PHP Editor

[RayAdams23]

Currently I am using mainly notepad to write all my PHP.

Does anyone have a suggestion of which product would be best for a new PHP user to download. For example I know Dreamweaver has PHP editing built in - but kind of costly for my PHP knowledge level.

Thanks,
Ray

A wise man once said:

Please search the "Echo Lounge" forum here. There are many discussions on IDE's and editors there.

For the past 3 years now I have been using phpDesigner with great pleasure it has everything you need as a developer (don't remember their website but try search for phpDesigner at Google)...

I had only experience coding HTML/CSS but wanted to expand this to PHP also so I started 3 years ago searching the web for a good PHP editor / PHP IDE and found phpDesigner 🙂

It helped me learn the php language and today I actually code websites in HTML/PHP for other people!!

Update: Although phpDesigner is not an open-source php ide it is still very recommended and has a low price tag compared to zend etc.

See dagon's post for a pointer to where this thread can be continued. But to be even more precise, see the Echo Lounge FAQ. There is an explicit link there.

(P.S. Open Source != Free)
