What is Digg?101 Comments
- jhowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3zend studio is great, imho.
- Ricapar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm sad that gPHPEdit ins't listed on there =(
- dionalmaer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Zend Studio is going to be a killer Eclipse platform too, which is great to hear (in some ways!).
Also, the ratings on that page also make me realise that averages aren't enough.
If 100000 people result in a 4.5 rating, what does that say to you compared to 100 people resulting in 4.5?
To me it says that I trust the 100000 more! It would be cool to have a weighted system (Digg is all about weights, and not about ratings)
Cheers,
Dion

- l34NDl20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bluefish does the job for me.
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kate does the job for me. Good syntax highlighting and foldable function blocks.
- inactive, on 04/15/2009, -0/+1On the (now rare) times I use Windows, I hold nothing higher than EditPlus2 with customized syntax highlighting and libraries of my own php functions (for PHP and plaintext editing, as well as LSL and MPI which many haven't heard of); on OS X, I use TextMate, though I do miss some of EditPlus's features
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or how about an all-purpose editor like Notepad++ or Kate or Gedit?
- roosteronacid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Zend is by FAR my fav. editor. If you can call it that, cause the 5.X BETA version has a server, MySQL client, and all sorts of other goodies included.
My former editor was the Ultra Edit app, which is totally owned by Zend Studio. - bugmenot3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1vim
- phuncky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Notepad++ forever, but why is it not on the list?
- flower.Hercules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Eclipse. Dugg.
- barbobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1vim
- FatController, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Vi and variants are so comfortable and handy for me, I do at least 75% of everything with it. When I'm feeling fancy I use TextWrangler. Waiting for some genius to make a vi plugin for it...
- irfaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1editplus is my pick:)
- ermau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Zend Studio FTW, nice to be able to use it whether I'm on Windows or Linux.
- sproutworks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Zend Studio has excellent features, but for me, it's a big, slow application. It routinely lags when I am typing, and sometimes uses over 200M RAM. I usually use PSPad because it is small and fast, and the author frequently posts new beta builds to try out. I used to use PHP Designer 2005 a lot, but the development has stagnated, so I switched to PSPad.
- Micrll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Someone explain to me what happened with the Bluefish coments on that site. Crappy no editing done there. They are 464 ads. NO digg
- Dispersion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I was using SuSe Kate was nice because it kept track of open/close brackets by highlighting them which made nesting easier without having to flowchart. Unfortunately it didn't keep up well with indented returns.
Gedit for my new Ubuntu install keeps return indentation but it lost the bracket highlighting.
I'll have to check out some of these other ones. - mascix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1SCite is enough I think
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html - littleark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm used to Zend, Zend is great I love it. Unfortunately it's not as cheap as Eclipse is:
1) Zend: not that buggy as I read somewhere else, great debugging, help in code completion, especially with the AST tree for classes.
2) Easyeclipse for PHP (Eclipse+PHPEclipse+Other stuff): free, great community and help around the web, great CVS tool, html completion is not great, someone could forget some tag and it doesn't help you. What is great is that you can install JSEclipse plugin and make javascript easy for your AJAX web apps.
Anyway I've just download Trustudio from Xored (yet another eclipse plugin) and later on I'll give it a try. Let's see if it's better than phpeclipse.
Got to know there's a new php plugin for eclipse made by the guys at Zend, it's called PDT (PHP Development Tool). I'll definitely try it, let's see if we can mix Zend and Eclipse strong features.

yoople.net - Collaborative Web Searches - dreamluverz, on 12/11/2007, -0/+0I"ve tried editplus, phpedit(ultraedit), zend studio, dreamweaver, and nusphere phpeditor is the best one for me :P
http://dreamluverz.com/?s=nusphere - DefArmy05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0vim
- littleark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ok...I was a bit confused about PDT, it's a plugin for eclipse, not made by the zend people...uhm....it sounded strange...eheheh
anyway on Zend website you can download the whole package with eclipse, pdt plugin and zend executable debugger eclipse plugin
I'm trying it later on.
bye bye

http://yoople.net - quaffapint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When editing my flash gaming site I wanted a quick editor for Windows that has syntax highlighting and a builtin chm help keyword link, and Ultraedit fit the bill. It's builtin FTP client also works quite well and is a quick way to make an update.
For most people, things like Zend studio are bulky, slow, and just overkill.

http://www.waitingforclass.com - possum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've always like BBEdit on OSX, plus there is a free version "textwrangler" that does a good job too. I also going to take textmate for a test drive.
- sheepy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I tried a lot of editors, both commercial and free. I currently settle down with three:
1) Eclipse / PHPeclipse
An industrial strength editor supporting dynamic code completion, syntax check, project management, integration with SVN and most importantly supports all charset I need to work with. DBG Debugger is supported, too. It needs polishment, and latest version always break plugins, but it is free and help articles / forums are abundent.
If latest feature is not what you're after, EasyEclipse for PHP is a complete package with no compatibility problem at cost of cutting edge functionality.
2) PSPad
A fast lightweight notepad replacement with syntax highlighting, compiler support and other nice features, this is what I use on my aged laptop. The hex editor is helpful too. Windows only.
3) JEdit
You need to fish for plugin and mess with options to turns it into a developer editor, but it supports rectangular and multiple selection, very useful in multi-line formatting and modification. - Chuckun, on 05/20/2009, -0/+0Crimson Editor ftw! :)
- stuartc1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks for posting this up :)
I have added emacs to the list at: http://www.php-editors.com/review/?editor=92 as I see there is a lot of interest in that one. The main reason it was not there is the editor/ide list mainly covers software build with PHP in mind... there are a few exceptions however. The last thing I want is to list every piece of software which php code can be written in. Anyway, emacs looks good and has lots of handy features.... I think I'll be playing with it for a while ;) Feel free to drop by and post up your reviews on it.
Regarding the spam in the reviews - this is always going to be a problem and I do go through them from time to time cleaning up the scum and pointless reviews, it's a lot of work for one guy to do daily especially when I hold down a full time jobs etc.
Personally I use Zend, but not entirely happy with it, those crashes which kill your work and the upgrade prices are a bit to much in my opinion. However version 5 looks good with that code folding and IE integration. Perhaps I'll be converted to emacs too :)
I really appreciate this digg and the comments guys, many thanks. - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I prefer Zend, mainly because of it's error hilighting/autocomplete stuff (Which Dreamweaver has to a degree, but Zend's has more detail on the functions, and links to the manual), and good debuging stuff
The only thing I liked Dreamweaver V8 (I use MX mainly for webdesign stuff) is being able to select a block of code and hide and expand it, which would help a lot for my current project, as theres serveral areas of the code I don't need to edit anymore and their long/get in the way..
- Ben - Leech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0editPlus rules..
also notepad2 and the classic ultraedit - etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Notepad++

This is the best editor - ikhvanje, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0@kuzb: Very useful review. Thanks
- jfritz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1MellerTime: saying java is good because it works on all platforms is like saying anal sex is good because it works on all sexes.
- dc2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0php designer 2005 is the best i ever used.
zend is too bulky for me and too much money too.
but i did use winsyntax also which was good but sadly no longer in production. - Hoohoonick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Notetab. definately.
- LiquidGUI, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0EditPlus. For sure.
- RevMark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PHP Studio from Neometric is pretty nice for MAc OS X.
http://www.neometricsoftware.com/?page=products&product=phpstudio - windwaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Textpad with PHP definition files. OVERALL - Great editor for text files in general.
- theStork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0for osx, give skedit a try at skti.org. reminds me of homesite.
- ChiliJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Uhhh... I believe the voting is meant to be made on the linked site.
- TheQwe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0vim all the way- I use it for everything.
- guhappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PHP Designer 2005 and 2006 version will be out soon
- ermau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't know why everyone says Zend is buggy, I've never had a problem with it (on Windows or Linux.) Doesn't seem that slow either...
- waiwai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish one of them supported the refactoring abilities that Eclipse has for Java (the PHP plugin for Eclipse didn't, last I tried). I have to deal with spaghetti PHP code constantly and being able to highlight sections of code and make them into methods with a click and whatnot would be worth a lot.
- gol706, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm trying the trial of Zend now, my only real complaint is how slow it does when it is un-minimized.
I've also been using PHP Editor 2005, which works fine except when I tried to use it on VPN it pauses after each keypress for some reason I can't explain. - mutant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This list really needs a sort
