Freeware PHP Windows Editors

Hi there,

I am starting to make more advanced PHP coding and I'm planning to
make a transition from Notepad++ to a full-featured PHP editor.
I would like it to be freeware unless there is a very compelling
reason to make me part with my money.

So far, I've seen these options available:
Maguma Studio Free
PHP Editor by EngInSite
PHP Eclipse
SciTE
EngInSite Editor for PHP
Pidela
PHP Side
TruStudio
PHPMaker
Smultron
HAPedit
PHP Coder

Could you recommend any of them , or perhaps another one?
Thanks

re: Freeware PHP Windows Editors

On Windows I used Dreamweaver and loved it. It doesn't have a debugger
and I do not think one is available, but so far that has been my
favorite. Under Ubuntu, I'm using Netbeans with the PHP plugin and
while I like it, I'm still not sold. As for the ones you listed, I
can't tell you one way or another.

Eclipse PHP and it has everything what I need. The same tool for
Windows, Linux, Mac. Many many plugins... and many, many features
(CVS, SVN, Trac, DBEditor, XDebug, ...).
It is really useful editor if you work with such framework as "Symfony
Framework".

Cheers,

I can't even find the PHP editor.

Judging by their website, it seems like you need to install the PHP

news:9o3855-sg8.ln1@ophelia.g5n.co.uk...You might prefer Notepad++ -- which is BASED on SciTE but has
more features (SciTE itself is primarily the editing libraries with their
editor being more of a demo of what SciTE can do than being intended
as a primary editor.)

Notepad++ for light work, and PHP Eclipse or the PDT Eclipse for
serious work seems to be the way to go.

that:

"Aptana Studio does not include a PHP debugger, although we hope to
implement PHP debugging in the future.

To install the PHP editor plug-in, go to the Aptana Start Page (Help >
Aptana Start Page...), and under the "Languages" column, scroll down
to "PHP", then follow the instructions to download and install from
there."

From my point of view a debugger will add a lot of value to the
product, which otherwise is fairly good.

I was going to download it, but then I realized that the beast is
about 100 Mb compressed, which would yield to up to 200+ once it is
installed.

Anyway, I found a very good one called phpDesigner:

Only functional for 14 days unless you buy it though.
(but I just realized that I have an old beta that works fine ..., he,
he, he, ...)

I just purchased a copy of PhpEd from NuSphere.

After trying several PHP IDEs, this is the only one that worked out of
the box. No additional downloads, no extra configuration of ini files,
works with my crazy setup.

The only configuration that I needed to set was which PhpEd web server
I wanted to use when debugging the code.

just Windows-specific changes to scripts I've written on Linux or Mac --
I'm perfectly happy with a simple editor that has syntax highlighting and
code folding support. SciTE fits the bill quite nicely.
