PHP Editors

**JamesC** · 21st November 2008

So what's your favourite PHP editor? I've just spent an hour trialing a load. Currently PhpEd and UltraEdit are my favourite, PhpEdit is the spawn of satan

notepad++ is very nice all round

I use PhpEd, it is pretty nice, I also trialled VS.Php since I do more .net stuff than php - and while it does nicely integrate with VisualStudio and it's nice to work with, the debugger was hit and miss as to whether it would crash or not and it wouldn't show sub folder in your project :s

If you're interested in PhpEd I *may* have some voucher codes - but I have to check if they are for use by anybody or only for licenses in my company.

Cheers,
Sean

Hi,

I'd be interested in some voucher codes if you do have some for anybody to use.

Cheers

I'm using vim/Dreamweaver - a big plus for me is directly editing remote sites via sftp.

TextMate on OS X here for all development - PHP or Ruby.

Would have to second that with DW

expressions web here, amazing support for divs and layout preview, dreamweaver just tended to render incorrectly, and just having simple things like being able to resize a div on the fly makes expressions my favorite

Nano over SSH for direct editing on the test server

and TextEdit or Xcode locally

Windows Notepad FTW

Nusphere PHPED, think I tried pretty much everything out there and it was the best available IMHO. You know it must be good if I'm willing to open my wallet for it

Just checked, they expired yesterday anyway (although it *looks* like they were for my own company)

I think they have an offer on their site currently though.

Been using TextMate on OS X for about 2 years now.
One of the best editors I've ever used.

Before I made the move to OS X I was mostly using gvim or vim on my X11 desktop.

Main things I like about TextMate are:
- Very much a OS X 'style' application.
- Bundles / Snippets can be a real time saver; less keystrokes is cool :-) Got a ever growing collection of custom snippets.
- BUNDLES!!! ;-)

I use EditPlus when not using Visual Studio. Great little program and cheap.

EditPlus - text editor and HTML editor for Windows

I like Editplus too
