What program(s) to code PHP sites?

Anon

Newbie here.

What program(s) are you using to create/code PHP sites?

For example, I see here:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/ultradev/

that Dreamweaver UltraDev says it sppts ASP, JSP & ColdFusion .. but makes no mention of PHP.

Do you simply use a text editor like EditPlus:

http://editplus.com/

to code the scripts, and then paste them into HTML web pages?

Appreciate any insight.

yes and no.

basically any html page can have php embedded within it, as plain text. any editor (homesite, etc) will work as long as it doesn't rewrite your code.

for example, DO NOT ever use front page for ANYTHING (even if it's not php) for this very reason.

i use homesite, but there's a free-version of an editor called 'phpedit' that is basically homesite, and will color-code your php code so it's readable and so on.

sorry but i use front page with php and so far i didn\'t have any major problems...

at www.editplus.com you can download php sintaxis, template and autocompletion.
just enter in "users files"

May it helps you

PHPedit is still in development, so a bit buggy, but still a time saver (forget the interactive debugging though...)

UltraEdit works well if you install the plug-ins for php, but it is not free $$$ beyond the trial.

THere may be a good commercial php editor soon as PHPed (not the same as PHPedit) has been taken in by a commercial interest. The question is still $$$.

Thanks for the replies. I've checked out all the apps mentioned. I like PHPEdit, but it crashes on me. Homesite seem like more than I need right now, and is expensive. Edit+ with the plug-ins mentioned may do the trick.
