What is your preferred PHP editor?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I am using PSPad right now, it’s a simple text editor with syntax highlighting. I like it because it can open almost any type of text file and it is fast (many times faster than Dreamweaver).

What PHP editor are you using and why?

@BelrickMay 15.2011 — Netbeans IDE.

The usual syntax error checking etc but makes managing multiple projects really easy for code library usage etc.

@aj_nscMay 15.2011 — Notepad++ (only because it hasn't been represented yet). It's not an IDE, it's just an editor like PSPad....where I do a lot of WordPress work, I haven't come up with a workflow where an IDE would be suitable. (If anybody else uses an IDE with WordPress, I'd love to hear about it!!)

@DerokorianMay 15.2011 — I use Komodo Edit as well, with bazaar for version control and project management. and WAMP for local testing eviroment.

@mikeroqMay 15.2011 — I second Notepad ++. Works well, just a text editor but I like syntax highlighting, code collapsing, line numbers, tabbed documents, and spell check!

@linkskuauthorMay 16.2011 — Thanks, I will try some of these out. I do not need an IDE, I just need a basic text editor with syntax highlighting. So I'll try Notepad++ first, since it suits my usage.

It's a nice general purpose editor, but I'd miss the auto-completion, tool-tips, and syntax error-checking of Komodo Edit. ?

@MentalheadMay 17.2011 — I'm using Aptana Studio 3 because it has code hinting with explanations, so it's quite useful for PHP newbies like myself.
