I am looking for a free, but descent php/text editor to replace windows notepad.
I want it to be able to do PHP code highlighting and possibly have a debugging tool.

If anybody has a favorite please let me know what it is..even if it isn’t free.

Thanks. ?

@Hendrick2Sep 20.2006 — Try PSPad, I've heard good things about that.

Now, if you were willing to pay for one, I'd safe up my money, and get dreamweaver. It is second to none in my opinion. My neighbor has it, and I love it.

@robertketterSep 20.2006 — I am hooked on Editpad. While I have been a paying customer for years I started out using the lite version which is free. After a few weeks using it I bought and have continued to upgrade with each new version. Lite is free and if you really take full advantage of all its features you will be a paying customer with no regrets too. ? www.jgsoft.com It stands for Just Great Software. ?

Fine if you intend to use many of its other features and can afford the $399.00 price tag. :eek: If all you're looking for is an editor with context-sensitive text colors and other typical programming editor functions, there are plenty of open-source choices out there.

@pcthugSep 21.2006 — I personally use Dreamweaver 8, though... as an open-source alternative I would recommend [url=http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php]PHP Designer[/url]. It packs some of the best features around and boasts excellent syntax highlighting.

@Stephen_PhilbinSep 22.2006 — You'd have a hard time convincing me to use anything other than [url=http://www.jedit.org/]jEdit[/url].

@Phill_PaffordSep 28.2006 — Well, I know that NVU is really not a php editor but you can still use it as one, you just have to rename the .html files to .php and it works fine.

NVU:

http://www.nvu.com/index.php

Also Firefox has an extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/687/

I think that this extension could be configured to be used in NVU, since NVU is based from Firefox.

Success!
