Can you recommend some PHP editors?Thanks .

Zend!

You can download trial version for first time.

I use Notepad++ and it has worked fine for me, but i have also used phpdesigner, bluefish and jedit and they have all worked really well, if i were you i would go for one of those editors.

I've found that when it comes to editing code, less is more. Pretty much the only thing I really need is syntax highlighting. All of the 'features' in some of the bloatware IDEs out there tend to just get in the way.

Notepad++ does it for me.

Hi, if you are new one with that language then, I suggest you that, go for Note Pad, but if you are more familiar with that language then I suggest you that you use Adobe Dream weaver as PHP editor.because by suing that, you create code for almost all Client as well as Server side Scripting Language.

Pretty much the only thing I really need is syntax highlighting.

That exactly what needed when it comes coding in PHP.

Notepad++ does it well.

I will always go for NPP..

Notepad++, phped

does "Dreamweaver" works?

I like Codelobster.

PHPed the best!

I use Eclipse PDT.

+1 for eclipse!
It includes clients to modern revision control tools (except GIT), and allows you to jump directly into a function code from anywhere in your project, and back to the page you where.
Great to work on med to big projects. But it takes some time to learn how to use.

i personally prefer dreamweaver any flavor u like to use and notepad ++

Personally I use PHPDesigner, while notepad++ is a great program, like alot of others, i find it particually nice to be prompted about variable names, functions, classes etc.

Example:

I have this class:

PHP Code:

class someClass
{
     function funcOne()
     {
     
     }
     
     function funcTwo()
     {
 
     }
} 


When typing in PHPDesigner "someClass->f" it prompts you with:

someClass->funcOne
someClass->funcTwo

Its nice, small features like that, that can make things alot smoother at times. Obviously its personal preference though!

netbeans has a PHP version which is good

I like Notepad++ also; because (yeah) syntax highlighting is really all one needs, but...

it's also nice to be able to upload that doc in real-time (to your web-server) via FTP, after making successive changes to it.


Maybe notepad++ does that, and I didn't know?

I use the PHP version of Netbeans but Eclipse is great too. Something which makes these IDEs awesome over simpler editors is the code completion feature. Netbeans even has the entire PHP manual built in so as you type it will pop up a window of possible syntax and functions including placeholders for legal parameters. This obviously makes life a lot easier but those who are learning should turn code completion off as it can cause over dependence and you may never fully learn the language.

Notepad++ is good too (though not as feature heavy as the 2 aforementioned IDEs), and for some reason mac users seem to be obsessed with textmate (have to hijack someone's mac one day and try it).

I tend to find this feature more confusing and head-ache inducing than anything.

I always have to turn it off for that reason.

As I mentioned I use Netbeans for coding but I also use Filezilla for my FTP needs. Filezilla allows you to define your own IDE for edits so I assign Notepad++.

I navigate to my space. Right click the file, Select Edit and it loads in my Notepad++. When I save the file it automatically pushes the updates live. Its neat and saves a bit of time for small changes.

well i use eclipes + aptana
