Up until recently, I've used Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which does a great job with syntax highlighting and is a great all around editor I think. I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned more often when I see lists of PHP-happy editors.
Right not I'm evaluating Zend Studio ($200-$250) which is PHENOMEMAL!.. But of course that's money.. Not free. Since my boss said he might foot the bill if I found a good commercial editor, I'm giving Zend a shot. I did install and fool around with PHPEdit briefly and for a free system, it looks really great. For what I'm doing though, I really wanted something a little more powerful (and not necessarily free). I really didn't dig into PHPEdit very deeply. If Zend turns out to have major problems, I'll give PHPEdit a more honest look. First glance it appeared fairly functional though. Much more so than Crimson Editor. But CE is still my favorite basic free code and text editor. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 8:41 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP EDITORS > > > Hello John, > > On 28 Jan 2004 at 0:10, John Jensen wrote: > > > Hello everyone.

If you want a nice IDE with lots of menus and helpers, try either PHPEdit (http://www.phpedit.org) or Maguma Studio (http://www.maguma.com/products.php?article=free). My suggestion is that you download them all, have a go at each one and keep the one you find more intuitive and feel most comfortable with.
