Title: I was wondering what editor everyone uses
Post by: Greenbug on September 05, 2006, 01:00:18 AM
I have been looking for an editor and found tsWebEditor, its a free open source editor and it works pretty good....I thought.

I was on another forum and then found PHP designer personal edition which is also free (promotes the for fee based one, professional) Well I was checking the webradio in tswededitor, looked good. Then I bring it into php designer and found two more errors then I had before.

I guess not all editors are created equal.

OK, so what works for you.

Or is everyone using notepad?  :o

Currently torn between PHP Expert Editor (http://www.ankord.com/phpxedit.html), Med Editor (http://www.utopia-planitia.de/indexus.html), and Context (http://www.context.cx/)

Context is the only free one.

Not everyone can dish out $300 for Dreamweaver just to edit PHP Xarcell. :P

EditPlus is very good...even better than PHP Expert editor in some areas. :) But I still use the latter most. Does not costs so much either..35 euro.

I have a couple of tools i like to use ..

Ultraedit - best and most versatile allround editor i've seen and used for the windows platforms (commercial but in my opinion well worth the money)

1st Page- A great Free web page editor with lots of addon scripts (even better in the latest release)

Coffeecup - another good addon script supply .. good for knocking up web pages quickly
(i got my registered version from donating the Twin Towers disaster..)

on linux te only editor i use is the one that comes with MC (Midnight commander) I use this one when i have shell access to a server than needs quick file editing

I've never had much success with the ones that allow you to test php / sql scipts etc.. prior to uploading so i gave up on them..

When i did try a lot of others i found that they put a lot of extra un-necessary code in their files.. (especially the wysiwyg type) If i ever use any of these I always go through and optomise the files by hand.. (Word, Hotdog, etc...)

another free text editor i've used and like is jen's file editor

I like PHP Expert Editor (originally recommended by Bloc) I have Version 4 build 3. It has some useful additions to 3.2.1 including the option to tile vertically of horizontally. It is a beta and build 3 is somewhat faster than build 2.

I use Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for content and coding, and Winbatch Studio 2006 for multi-file search/replace and debugging.

not that I am writing much code mind you, but tswwebedit is the baby brother of tsw webcoder which is very nice for making websites. and they tell me it is great for php. An alternative to dreamweaver of sorts.

Another great one for website creation [not php]is Dhe editor[wysiwyg]. Very easy to get websites up quickly.Writes valid xhtml. about $50 USD, but worth it.The guy is always making it better and takes suggestions seriously.Try them both non crippled for 30 days.Dhe has a free version too.

http://www.tsware.net/webcoder.php

http://www.dynamic-html-editor.com/en_home.asp

I saw this guy has some beginner tutorials and uses php designer in them. good for the newbie. and free unless you feel generous.

Awesome post, SuperQ

Checked out the video tutorials, because I am very new to this. Just what I needed, visual direction. (I have ADD, so its hard for me to read very long books etc..)

Found out about WAMP, good stuff there. Checkin out the rest of it tomorrow. It looks promising though.

Thanks again SuperQ
