I was wondering if anyone here knows of some good looking free PHP editors? Or what do some of you users use here when you need to code HTML/JS/PHP in general?

Thanks for the tips!

I checked out he website, looks like a nice simple editor! I'll install and try it out after a while! Thanks for the site zealivity5.

ConTEXT owns full stop, I never found a better editor when I was on Windows. It's a good choice .

phpDesigner07 is a very good editor, I have used it since the 05 version and am now running the professional version. The personal edition is just a good however, I have the professional edition simply because I like those "extra frills".

I've yet to check it out, but the IBM open source free IDE called eclipse has a plugin architecture and I've heard there are some plugins for php. the advantage of Eclipse is that it has a massive user base and is continually undergoing improvement, the disadvantage is that its a resource hog. Another advantage is that it runs on any platform.

I just had a quick gander and found the the PDT Project which is the php area for Eclipse. I'm going to have a gander at it tonight and see how good it is.

I still prefer Dreamweavers code view personally. But i would kill for one of those PHP Code Explorers in the phpDesigner

Dreamweaver supports php? I wasn't aware of that. Does it allow for debuging as well?

:edit:

Just did a quick look at the adobe web site, yup it does php, but I couldn't find any info about debugging. I'll have to have a gander tonight as I brought the Creative Web suite last week.

I haven't used Dreamweaver in a few months, but last I knew it only debugs HTML (and possibly CSS)...

[Mr. Matt]

I use EditPlus2. Mainly because it handles SSH connections but also as it is simple to use and works perfect for what I need it for.

Nope, no debuging. I just like the color coding and how it keeps blocks formatted (the tabbed nesting stuff). Plus it has this handy selection tool to select everything within a grouping structure ({, (, ", etc...).

I couldn't imagine using an IDE for debugging php. That just seems like more of a hassle than it's worth.

Good, ol' notpad or notepad ++ (which has color highlighting)

I have always used Php Designer, great software that colour codes many languages.
