Are there any good Code highlight programs :S ?

At the moment I just use a plain text editor for my PHP, are there any programs that people use that highlights different parts of PHP ect ?

That would just make it more fun to code

textpad has good syntax highlighting for just about any language, and is generally one of the best windows editors (in my opinion). you may need to install an add-on syntax file, though.

Ultra Edit is my favorite editor so far.

Personally i like the SciTE CVS Snapshot distro by Serge Baranov. It's totally free and open source. You can get it here .

If you are running Linx...try kate. If you installed KDE package kate cam with that. In kat you can select what you are coing and what to highlight..it wokr like a wonder.

I'll refer you to this post on text editor preference...as I mentioned in that thread, I've been using a combination of editors, and I always use syntax highlighting and bracket highlighting / matching for PHP. Makes it alot easier to track down open parenthesis, brackets, etc.

OK, so here's a related question from a newbie to PHP, etc...

I've been using that other operating $y$tem, coding in A$P, using Interdev, but I'm trying to migrate to Linux/Apache.

Is there a similar app in Linux that works with PHP? A "project management" feature would be nice, but what I'd like to have is:

(1) the code highlighting -- of course,

(2) integrated PHP, Javascript, CSS & HTML reference at my fingertips. For example, if I type <BODY>, it'd be nice if there was a handy-dandy window that would suddenly populate with all the attributes that <BODY> supports.

(3) Another nice (but not entirely required) feature would be file locking (like the "get working copy/release working copy" feature in Interdev).

Do Kate or Scintilla do any of this? Is there anything like that available, or am I completely missing something (entirely possible).

PHPed is supposed to be one of the better php editors out there. .. they just made it available for linux.

however, .. i haven't even used it so it is just something to research for yourself =)

Great! When I get THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS to spend on an editor / ide , I'll look into it.

:p

sde · 04-07-2003, 10:32 PM

did i forget to mention that part? =)

i've tried the test version and i don't like it for myself .. i dont' need all the other managment stuff or html editing things.

i'm still happy with my ultra-edit and haven't found anything better for coding php yet.

For windows here is a great one. It's open source too.

Dev-PHP
http://devphp.sourceforge.net/

For linux I use QuantaPlus

Thus far, I've stuck to using EditPad Pro in Windows and VIM in Linux.

However, with the project I'm about to start, I may switch over to that Dev-PHP since it looks spiffy, and I might actually make use of some of those 231,543 features since it'll be my first time to take on a project of such a large scale.

if your running linux, use kate. ussually ships default with kde. Beautiful program. Gvim also has a nice colour syntaxing option that is really nice also.

supewiser · 10-05-2007, 07:01 AM

No to text editor and editor with only syntax highlighting!

And how about outocomplete, debugger, integrated help, tools for navigation through project?

I use editors that at least have mentioned above features.

From ones I've tried I prefer Codelobster php edition.

Suggest to have a look:
CodeLobster - Handy Code Tools
No problem with downloading - it's free source

Be sure to select version 1.3 instead of 3.3, the Free one is version 1.3
