What software do you use to edit/make your php scripts?

**XraySierra** · Jan 20, 2006 09:27

I am just courious to know what software program everyone uses to create or edit all of their php scripts. I'd be interested to know how many people just use notepad or have found a better program.

I use to use one called "php notepad" which was just like regular notepad excpet it showed all the colour codes for the php syntaxes. Anyone ever heard of it? I can't find it anymore.

PHP Designer, free, lots of good features, including local Run & Debug.

Nice.

I just use the conventional NotePad, althought I don't recommend it. What I do more often than not these days is, write my code in NotePad, and then open it in DzSoft PHP Editor for debugging purposes. It isn't great, but it gives you line numbers, and some sort of syntax highlighting, all-be-it not very good highlighting. (I mean, brown, teal and grey..)

I think you're talking about Professional Notepad which allows you to add syntax highlighting to it. It looks pretty good actually.

Textmate on OSX
Eclipse on Windoze

skEdit (OS X) => The Best, in my humble opinion.

I use EditPlus to do all my PHP programming ^^.

**bjcffnet** · Jan 21, 2006 15:23

Eclipse and PHPEclipse.

i started with Edit Plus, then swithched to dreamweaver, and now it is Zend Studio. The last one is most powerful.

Notepad++, supports dozens of programming languages (and syntax highlighting).

zend studio offers a nice debugger. check it out at www.zend.com . 30 day trial version is available. Download both Zend studio client and Zend studio server.

Using dreamweaver at the moment, but i will have a look soon at Zend Studio.

PHP Designer I have found is the best for me.

**jreider** · Jan 25, 2006 07:01

I've been using Textpad for years (www.textpad.com), you can download php syntax highlighting files as well, which can be edited to add newer functions, etc. I have tried the PHP Designer, which is packed full of features for a free product, but has anyone else had any issues with it eating up the CPU? It runs better on my new laptop, but it would bring my older XP laptop to a screaching halt. I do like the way it puts all your classes and functions into a library on the sidebar ;-)
