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

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,
bogo

Hello, I just started programming in Python last night, and I've really enjoyed my experience so far.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! Dustin
