PHP Editor

**MixMaster** · Oct 11th, 2003, 03:01 PM

Are there any puspose built PHP editors or am I forced to use notepad or similar?

If there are no editors availiable then I would be interested in developing one, would there be any interest?

There are many editors built for PHP. Do a google search on "+PHP +IDE" or "+PHP +Editor"

I use EditPlus. It isn't for PHP, but for multiple languages.

Here are two I've heard of (may or may not be free):

Zend: http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-studio.php
PHPEdit: http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-studio.php

Zend is really slow, clunky and crashes a lot, well, in my experience

The best PHP IDE I've ever seen is Nusphere's PHPed. It's made specifically for PHP, but also supports various other languages/markup. It isn't free, but its a good editor.

I myself use Kate, because I'm on Linux and can't afford PHPed

EditPlus is my favourite editor. Despite being written with MFC, it starts up extremly fast (usually faster than IE or Mozilla with Quick-Start), and has a good amount of very good features.
Not free though. And development on it seems to have stopped more or less, which is a pity, because I would love to see better XML editing capabilites for it.

There's also HTML-Kit, and I think it's free.

Dreamweaver is awesome for PHP. Intelisence rocks

**davidrobin** · Jan 19th, 2004, 05:24 AM

kasracer - I take it you are you referring to Dreamweaver MX?
I have Dreamweaver 4, PHP does not exist in 4 as far as I know.

**Graff** · Jan 26th, 2004, 02:03 AM

Yea DW MX supports PHP among other scripting languages.

**davidrobin** · Nov 17th, 2004, 11:16 AM

I know this is an old thread but I have come across an excellent free PHP editor called PHP Designer 2005, you can get it at www.mpsoftware.dk

**Pino** · Dec 1st, 2004, 03:10 PM

wow that is good i'm suprised its free :-o

**CornedBee** · Dec 1st, 2004, 06:22 PM

Wow, that's one impressive app.

**numtel** · Dec 31st, 2004, 01:07 AM

Like said above, Dreamweaver is good.

I use it whenever I write something big because it takes so long to load up dreamweaver but if it's small changes or I'm being lazy, I'll use the Microsoft Development Environment because at least it give me line numbers and better formatting than just using notepad.

Edit: Aww crap I didn't realize how old this was

**Electroman** · Dec 31st, 2004, 06:28 AM

I used to use Dev-PHP but now I use Crimson Editor, both very nice, just your standard highlighting but Dev-PHP also has buttons on its toolbar to add HTML elements. I don't really miss not having them in Crimson Editor but they were nice.

**Wen Lie** · Jan 4th, 2005, 06:00 AM

PHP designer 2005 is cool tools

~
thx for davidrobin for the info...
nd surprising... as Pino said.... it's free

[-w-]

Does anyone know of any good editors for Linux?
I need some kind of Intellisense and support for an integrated PHP-manual (press F1 on a function name and the manual page for that function opens)

As for a windows editor I would recommend PHPEdit (www.waterproof.fr/products/PHPEdit/)
It's free for personal use, but you do have to ask for a license.

**CornedBee** · Jan 4th, 2005, 07:39 AM

Looking through Gentoo's database, I find:
Bluefish, a generic web development editor. No IntelliSense, but various other features.
Cooledit, generic programmer's editor.
gPHPEdit, fully featured PHP editor, including IntelliSense. I used it some time ago, and the version I had then crashed a lot. Perhaps it's better now. Still in a pre-1.0 stage, anyway.
Quanta Plus, generic web development editor. Unfortunately, the web page sucks and doesn't list any features.

**McCain** · Jan 4th, 2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks, gPHPEdit looks promissing. Think I'll give it a spin.
