PHP Editors

[susapra]

What programs does everyone use?

Do you use stuff like Dreamweaver and Frontpage or go with simpler methods like notepad, notpad++ ect?

also is this more a matter of preference on what to use can they all do the same things?

For PHP, the only editor you need it Notepad++.

I use notepad and wordpad, their free!

second the Notepad++. I used to use TextPad, but I found NotePad++ to handle the language markup much better. The highlighting of the bracketed sets really helps you catch mistakes(not that I make any ).

Im a new fan of Notepad++. I had been a user of PSPad but a few quirks like loosing £ sometimes and missing } every now and then in a file which had been fine for ages made me switch.

Hello! You know I prefer Notepad++ or Dreamweaver.

Within the PHP Tools section you'll find a growing list of PHP editors, PHP modules and add-ons, PHP support applications, PHP template modules, and more for PHP programming and code.

1. Zend Studio
2. PHPEditor
3. I think there is a software called PHPDesigner

Maybe this is more like lack of time to test better editors, nevertheless it sure gets the job done.

Brugbart which is my main project, was designed using notepad in windows, and the new site has almost entirely been designed in notepad++, i prefer hand coding above WYSIWYG, as it gives me more control, as well as almost ensures correct usage of elements and attributes, i would recommend hand coding to everyone.

Finally i don't find hand-coding to be any slower then using WYSIWYG, and i assume that there wont be much of a differance.
