I use Dreamweaver as my HTML Editor. And for PHP I use Ultraedit (You can select and external editor in DW) www.dreamweaver.com www.ultraedit.com Ultraedit can colorize the PHP commands. |

I hand code with Dreamweaver and I use PHPed for php, you can find it at http://www.soysal.com/PHPEd/ You asked wich is the best? Notepads are just as good as Dreamweaver, but Dreamweaver is easier to maintain a large site, but it is very buggy. As for php, you need a special installation in your computer so you can run the scripts. (not as simple as download then install and the rest takes care of itself).

I use, Homesite, UltraEdit and NEdit Overall, I think I prefer Homesite. Couldn't say why, just personal preference. NEdit is hell to set up on Win32, but its become my choice for linux. I use UltraEdit daily, but not for PHP. Go figure. |

My current favourite for php/html is CodeWhiz which allows various language modules to be added in to give tag completion, colouring etc. Its shareware $19.95 www.incatec.com |

i use a combination of Dreamweaver and Homesite, Homesite is best for PHP due to the way it colours the syntax of PHP is makes it alot easier to see what you are doing waseem visit : http://www.itstop.com into sports?? then goto |

As was suggested at the top of this thread, I use textpad 4.3 as well. Textpad has never failed me (except in 1 little problem with syntax highlighting), but it is a great php editor as well as asp, perl, c, and all the other lovley programming/scripting languages. Let's not count out text, too...  ------------------ |

I have to go with Textpad as well. I am 100% Linux on my home PC's, but Textpad is one of those few apps that I actually miss from the Windows world. Also, I heard that UltraEdit is really cood too. Jaster Mereel ------------------ |

I've been coding in php for the past year and in my opinion, the best I've used is Homesite. It's color coding is near flawless, and if you have a decent amount of ram it loads fast and even has ftp support (granted the ftp support needs to have status messages though). If you don't need a WYSIWYG editor, I recommend Homesite. If you need one, add Dreamweaver to the equation. -Justin King |

It is true that notepad is good for basic functions, but when I need multiple files open in one program, notepad doesn't cut it. And when I have to pump out several full websites a month, notepad slows me down. I use a WYSIWYG editor (Dreamweaver, I like it the best) and Nedit for PHP and the countless other programming languages I use. ------------------ |

If you are 'trapped' in a Windows environment, but are at heart a Unixer, I recommend UltraEdit. Yes it actually costs something, but at $30, I don't think I have made a better investment in software. It is incredibly customizable, and supports such things as FTP open/save as (so your file never even needs to reside on your Windows C:\ drive), Perl-style regular expressions, multiple project profiles, autocomplete, editable syntax-highlighting files, macros, multiple clipboards and a quite a few other niceties that make your coding more productive. (No, I don't work for the company, but in my dealings with the creator Ian D. Meade, he has been one heck of a nice guy.) P.S. also, he told me he is considering a Linux port of UltraEdit. Let's all cast our vote [This message has been edited by rycamor (edited August 05, 2000).] |

jEdit is a VERY well done editor, and is java-based (read: cross platform) For window$ only I recommend EditPlus. For Linux there are some really good ones available - some are part of an IDE and some are stand alone. IDE category - try Moonshine, or CodeCommander, or CodeForge Editor only - FTE, nEdit and of course Jed Happy coding!!! ------------------ |

I've been using Homesite since version 3.0 (currently 4.5.1). It has many great features like extended search and replace, configurable color coding, undo, and built-in FTP. However, it can be frustratingly buggy. This is especially true with the FTP functionality which has caused me to lose work sometimes. I'm sticking with it hoping to see the bugs worked out soon. I've used a couple of the other like UltraEdit, but the interface isn't as good. It takes too long to do something as simple as open a remote file. I also don't like being forced towards using the "Project" feature. [This message has been edited by Gozer (edited August 07, 2000).] |

Under Windows (my prefered coding environment) I use DreamWeaver 2 for prototyping my pages and getting the look right. I then move over to HTMLKit to integrate my PHP code into it. HTMLKit is great because it has both color highlighting and built-in PHP references. Under Linux I'm using Amaya for prototyping (if anybody knows of product close to DreamWeaver please let me know) and CodeCrusader for my PHP coding Hope this helps. |

As a dedicated Mac user I use BBEdit its just what you need, a no frills easy to use reliable editor. However, on my Sgi, I use NEDIT with a php macro or XEMACS. Very powerful.Lots of windows users here , used one once but chucked it out in favour of a mac. I even use Linux on an old PC I have access to. My advice on editors is to keep it simple. It will save you the hassle of stripping out the excess stuff that gets shoved in... |

I've been using Homesite for the last few years and I'd always loved it, but 4.5 is rubbish, too buggy and can't deal with files > 1MB V well, also if the Network connection goes down, it crashes horribly. If I'm *forced* to do conceptual stuff, then DW has never let me down. This is so rare though that I've forgotten how to use it This weekend I'm finally 'upgrading' to Linux, from what this discussion has generated, Codecommander looks like it'll do what I want Bealers ------------------ [This message has been edited by Bealers (edited August 07, 2000).] |

Use Adobe GoLive for html and php, it works well using the asp tags, everything is a graphic marker, you can click on and edit. The syntax colouring is good, there are a few things that don't highlight... ------------------ |

Dreamweaver under windows and Vim with syntax highlightning under Linux. But you can spend more time learning Vi than PHP

editplus is the best, it loads in a sec, not like homesite that takes some minutes on my comp (600Mhz/256MB ram), editplus handles large files very quicly, its posible to download extra syntax hiliting files from their website |
