free php editor??

Does anyone know of any free php editors (other than notepad lol)

Notepad++

i meant a full time php editor lol (that can actually run the scripts, and tell me where i have made mistakes in syntax)

Just tell me if i cant get one for free, then i guess i will be stuck with notepad++ :(

I guess there's something to find there. As for non-IDE, I can recommend Context and Emacs.

Aptana Studio is my personal choice, I would definatly recommend this.

Personally I like komodo edit, its free, multilingual, corrects syntax. Nice to have because you can do almost any project in it.

Definitely worth checking out.

i never really search for a php ide because i use a text editor and my linux shell.

Yeah, me too. Only problem is if you want to run a script for a long time, it gets terminated after a while. Of course you can change the config but it's good to have it for other scripts. :P

yeah, lol… i never passed 5 minuts for a script execution…

I have thought of making a script that would browse through web pages and collect information. Just keep running in the background without anyone noticing. :ninja:

Building a crawler in PHP is stuuuuuupid. Go with C(++)/Perl/Python.

Perhaps, but I doubt I will code anything like that any time soon. Got too much else to do.

use vim, it needs some dedication but now i really cant live without this handy tool

esc set syntax=php to set it php

the NetBeans IDE is supposed to be excellent if you can get your head around it.

has some excellent php and javascript debugging.

doesnt have FTP support, but i think theres plugins you can install for it.

I prefer the E editor. its not sure if its free or not. has some great features. worth checking out their website: http://www.e-texteditor.com/

ConTEXT is wonderful if you're using Windows.

It sure is. However, when you start it, it doesn't get the normal focus for some reason. It's focused but still it's not. Hard to describe. :P It's nothing vital anyways.

I basically do it like that, though I use ConTEXT or emacs instead of Notepad++. But it is annoying when you screw something up and you have to put a little echo here, echo there to find out where it goes wrong. When that happens it would be nice with a good debugger.

Sadly, the tabs get all messed up running it in wine gedit works ok. I use Netbeans now but still debug using localhost. I also disabled code hinting that gets really obnoxious after awhile, "I KNOW WHAT GOES IN ECHO DAMN IT SHUT UP"…../end mini rant

Yeah, tabs can screw things up. Then it is an advantage if the editor converts tabs to spaces. Though that is not optimal either. :(

F5 is a good button. :) Though I certainly see the advantages of an IDE, I think I'll stick with text editor and browser.

As for running WINE, I totally agree that it seems a little unnecessary as there isn't really a lack of text editors out there that will work.

I went with manual not XAMPP I think I will live though :P As for text editor wise I'm satisfied with what I have as long as code hinting is off. I use gedit(my default text editor) for small quick scripts, netbeans for larger. As for wine I try to use that for HBH challenges a lot such as rooting 3 and apps which are windows only. So wine is needed here and there.
