Just curious on what PHP editors you all use.

I use Kate on Linux, its really neat I used to use Screem but found it as buggy as hell. And I dont code on Windows :D

I like to keep to one.

I use AceHTML5 . It's really for HTML pages, but you can also open up a php file with that program. If I'm going to just breeze through a php page, I would just likely open it in notepad, but if I'm going to try to code a php script, I would want to use AceHTML for it, as it makes troubleshooting SO much easier (per se) as it shows the line #'s for the page, and whenever I have an error on my page, it shows what line it is on. And I don't know about you, but I'm not really up to counting up to line 405 to find the error.

Yeah, I like Kate for that and it has Syntax highlighting and you can shrink brackets. Generally it rocks.

I use Dreamweaver. It's good because of the color highlighting of different tags so you can glance at it and see if there's a syntax error or something without even running it. And then there's the contextual menus that Dreamweaver has when you're hardcoding something in and suggests what should/can come next in whatever you're typing...yeah.

Yeah Kates like that apart from it has less of the junk that surrounds Dreamweaver clean clear and simple.

AceHTML rocks iv had it for years. You guys are all talking about dreamweaver... Whats that about..? Its like one of the worst programs i have used before. It just trys to take to much control. What ever happened to good old Raw Coding.

Also with the text being differnet colours, you can do that with any editor.

By if anyone wants to get a free editor get AceHTML well worth the download.

Latz :P
