Which PHP-Editor do you think is the best?

New to the site. Looks nice.

Judging from the posts I've read, it seems most people in here are working in a Windoze env. :( Though I do work with Windows on the job, I primarily use Linux and need an IDE that can function in all places.

I'm looking for an IDE for PHP. Previously I was using JBuilder for Java, and I'd like a PHP editor that has features along those same lines. Primary features of JBuilder that I love are: debugger, symbol/function definition lookups, CVS integration, (Java)Doc integration, full language documentation integration, and the list goes on.

If I exclude Winblows-only apps and apps that aren't much more than simple editors (eg jedit), The list gets short very quickly.

I'm currently down to: Komodo, Zend Studio, Eclipse w/php plugin, ???

Zend seems to be designing their IDE with JBuilder in mind. It's not at all as feature rich, but it's very similar. But from the little that I've played with it, it doesn't seem nearly as mature as JBuilder (not sure how long each of them have been around).

Are there any more contenders for my list?

JBuilder taught me that a great IDE can be invaluable and save lots of time. So as I get back into PHP, I want to take advantage of whatever tools are available to me.

Maguma provides an excellent IDE for working in both LINUX and Windows. It's Maguma Workbench version 2.2.1. You can download the trial version from www.maguma.com.I hope you will like it.

Have you given Quanta Plus a try? Its not specifically for PHP but it does a good job... of course theres always gvim.

On the windows side, I use PHPEdit.  I used to use Maguma, but it was too buggy. I'll use Dreamweaver for layout and design or when I've got to do just a little bit of coding. But I really don't like to do much coding from DW.

I'm d/ling PHP Designer right now. See how that goes.

Hi,

Ive been using Macromedia Homesite+ for my editing, mostly because i already had it and it had good ftp support and stuff. But it actually isnt built for php so it doesnt give all the nice colours

DW is what i normally use, but a good free editor is ConTEXT, which has a syntax highlighter in it.

Am I the only one using Crimson Editor??

It does nice colour syntaxing and works with other languages too. Though I guess if any of those above programs would show me my code in action without having to have php installed on my windows box, and could debug it that be cool.  Kinda like the VB.NET suite that I use at work.

*shrug*

So what recomendations are there for straight php editors??  (prefereablly freeware cause I have very little money)

i just read the poll.
i think u guys have forgotten PHP designer 2005.
its preety awesome.
its light weight.
have some cool features.
also it directly incorporates the php_manual.chm file for the help feature.
though i have used dreaweaver, i still recomend this for atleast the basic user, since it is specifically designed for PHP.
u all can try it once, and reply the suggestions

I'm sorry but if you work every day coding in PHP it's WORTH the $299. Zend Studio will savbe you more time thatn you think, oh and BTW it works well on a mac.

Homesite 5.5 here, but voted Dreamweaver MX since it's the only other IDE I've used.

On Linux Quanta is what i use, but while in windows world i use Developers Pad.

DevPad is way, way, way out of date now! (many years) i really should upgrade, ive been using it for years. its essentially a vb editor (dont ask me i never touch the stuff!) but it has syntax highlighting for 99% of the languages we are likely to use.

Er, im not even trying to justify it, it is actually quite poor (!?), plus its windows only and all that, in fact i'd probably have a go at someone for suggesting it!! oops lol.
but at the same time i love it. strange.

Looking at Zend Studio - I'm ready to buy this when i get time to stop and think. and for a paid editor i'd want full on super duper everything, and the support (if need be) to go with it.

There are plenty of free / freeware editors out there. I suppose everyone gets used to working in theirs.
