I had the same question wor C/C++, and I got many answers.

Now I ask for PHP editors...

I have used "PHP Designer 2005"(free), "WinSyntax"(free), and "PHP Expert Editor"(shareware :( ).

pagev http://www.php-editors.com/review/ contains many reviewed editors for php, amost all of them are free, but unfortunately the best are for money...

What I can recommend is.

Zend Studio http://www.zend.com/ - for money
PSPad http://www.pspad.com/ - for free

I personally like the Zend Development Studio but I havn't used it since I was on windows (I never actually had an intention to comtinue using linux for a prolonged period), most of the time I just use basic text editors such as nano and gedit these days.

VIM or Ultraedit!

I guess, Bluefish has PHP support as well. If not, you could extend it with plugins. Personally I would use Emacs, but that's a matter of taste. =)

No, serious: Try out Bluefish. It's an excellent free HTML (and possibly PHP) editor and has lots of features.

I haven't ever used any IDE. I just always had to make the script using normal text editor and then trying it on my website. It's not very good way to test is the script working, but i may load a IDE if i find enough good one Smile

I prefer programmers notepad with the good old C highlighting.
php has a C like syntax so it doesn't work that bad.

That's why I love Emacs. It properly highlights mixed languages like HTML with PHP, HTML with JavaScript, HTML with JavaScript with PHP (nested!), C with Assembler or even Shell-script with Perl/Python/TCL/... code or Texinfo markup mixed with all sorts of other languages. =)

I'd have to say VIM with syntax highlighting enabled. Its versitile, I can go from coding in PHP to TCL, Pearl, or Bash.

I perfer to use UltraEdit-32... but its not free (I use Ultraedit mainly for my Hex Editing.. so its nice to use only one interface than switching in between all three or four).

For Open source IDE's I use, Notepad++, or Jedit both of which are fabulous.

For GNOME/KDE enviroments I use Nedit or Xemacs (Jedit if you like java based) for command line I use VIM, vi and lesser emacs.
