Is there a php-editor with the following features?:
Well, the Zend IDE might contain these features. Also, just today I stumbled upon an editor which claims all of the features you mentioned. It's available at www.maguma.com (in a lite context, the pro version costs money).
However, although there's a version available for download there, I couldn't understand how to download it - after the regular submission form it kept pushing me on a different page.
If you have luck, please email me at stanis@sibfair.nsk.su
There was an editor called PhpEd which used to be free, but now the developer was bought out by one of those Workaround-the-GNU-and-sell-it companies. It's part of a costly package that includes MySQL, PHP, Apache and a number of other programs. Please email me if you want to get their link as well.
Best regards,

You can still download the pre-buyout versions of phped (http://www.soysal.com/) That's what I use and it works fine.
Can't wait for NuSphere to sell a copy of the phped on it's own. They are thinking about it apprantely but they are not sure if there's the market for it. So at the moment the only option is to buy the full Nusphere php/mysql/apache/phped package. :-(

Hi!
The pre-buyout version is pretty buggy as I noticed. It's developed in Delphi and apparently there are a few holes for memory leaks in the program, so once in a while all my applications crash. It may also be caused because I am running the Bat! email program which is also a Delphi application and uses the same VCL component object model.
What I would like in an IDE is an automatic dropdown not only for standard PHP functions, but also for class variables and methods, etc. This, I guess, is not available in any IDE for PHP, yet.
I just requested a 30-day trial from NuSphere, hope the new version is good enough.
Maguma that I gave a link for (I finally downloaded it from another computer) is pretty good, but it expands Tabs to blanks and there's no way to avoid it.
Best regards,
Stas
I find that everynow and then PHPEd crashes with a memeory exception, but only take sout itself. And this only happens once or twice a month, which is pretty good considering that I have phpEd open on my computer 24 hours a day, with other apps running.
NuSphere still haven't commited to selling o version of PHPEd without their mysql/php. B***ards. :-)
I had a quick look at that Maguma and can't say I overly like it. Some of it's features were nice, but there are things in PHPEd I'd miss.
I can't remember what the other's were I tried in the past, but PHPEd was the best out of a bunch of about 5. That was quite a while ago, suppose I should look again.

Hi!
Actually, I just use EditPlus 2. It has a configurable autocompletion file which is even better than regular auto-completion. It auto-completes without giving you a choice, though :-)
NuSphere - yeah, I have something to say about them too. Actually, they just sent me the download link to PhpEd advantage. I got the file - it's totalling about 50 megs. Considering that the original program is just a few megabytes (if not one).
They are simply hoping there're stupid enough people who would buy the whole package because they only need one application.
I don't like Maguma either. The cluttering of windows (in contrast to the Double Tabbed document interface of PhpEd or EditPlus 2) and auto tab expanding feature just don't hit the spot at all.
I don't know, I quit using phpEd about half a year ago, but it crashed more often then. Maybe you have a stable version.
Best regards,
Stas
You'll have to let us know what the new - i hesitate to use this word in conjunction with nusphere - 'improved' version of PHPEd is like.
