Is there any editor for PHP?

10 years ago

Lots of them. If you're looking for free editors, Netbeans and Notepad++ are both really good. A lot of people like Eclipse w/ PDT too, but I never cared for it -- too bloated in my opinion. For paid editors... Sublime Text, PHP Storm, and Zend Studio are a few of the more popular ones.

Tons of them out there though. Big list here.

Check out Aptana Studio 3. It's a PHP editor that comes with syntax highlighting and autocompletion and tells you if a syntax is incorrect. Oh and it's free.

I think you will find that there really is not a product out there that will provide really great auto completion, you still have to know a good bit of syntax for it to be useful, it might save you a few keystrokes, one of the products I like the best is Espresso, (its mac only at the moment, but there are plenty of others out there too)

Back in the old days, I used dreamweaver, (it was totally buggy, back when it was macromedia, crashed all the time, so I tried out an adobe trial recently, most recent version)

It is still crashing, which I think is sort of funny, considering that the last version I used of DW was back before Adobe took over.

Sublime Text 2 (Mac or PC) and if you're on a Mac and want file access (FTP, GIT, etc) as part of the editor get Coda 2

I have used few years Sublime Text 2, its best editor I have ever used! Lightweight and zero crashes so far

Also changing color scheme is huge plus, I can't stand coding with white background, head start to hurt after some time.

I used dreamweaver before sublime, but it also crashed sometimes and lost some of my codes. And it definetly uses more resources of computer than other editors.

Thanks

I just use VIM because it's what I'm used to. It has a learning curve, but I can work faster in VIM than I can in any other text editor or IDE.

If you don't want to spend any money use Notepad++ if on windows, mac use sublime text I believe thats the name.

If you don't mind spending money PHPStorm is probably the best IDE for PHP

  There was a WSO here a while ago that sold a Javascript editor called Antechinus that also will edit php. The software company is cPoint. It seems pretty good, although I'm not proficient enough at writing php to know the difference between a good editor and a great one.

Notepad++ is good.
But the commercial EditPlus has more features.

There's no a GUI editor for PHP. It's not a presentation language like HTML.

Sublime Text 2 is a great editor especially if you work on multiple platforms (it runs on linux, mac, windows) but the real power comes from the extensions and plugins that let you do a ton of useful things. it is not "free" however you can use it for free with the occasional popup that you simply click away well worth the price to pay for it though.

There are a lot of free PHP editors that you can use, like Notepad++, PHPEdit, Sublime Text, Brackets, Kantharos PHP IDE and a whole lot more.
Those PHP editors I mentioned only works with Windows except Sublime Text.

If you are looking for a newer editor you should look at Atom.io (supported by GitHub) and Brackets.io (supported by Adobe). I personally use Atom every day, and it has a lot of great features.

Has Atom.io gotten any better performance wise, I used it while it was in beta and I found that the text editor portion was slow or laggy. I was typing multiple words while the editor was seeming to have a hard time to catch up.

Notepad++ is also a great php editor to begin with.

Opinions are really great but the answer is not a simple list of products people like. They all have different uses. For example I use Sublime Text, Coda, VIM, and PHP Storm.

In general when doing php application development involving a lot of OOP and larger applications I use PHP storm. It has real code processing, debugging, syntax, refactoring, class generation etc...

However in some cases I am just doing a quick fix or working on something much more simple. Perhaps a simple prototype or something without a lot of bells and whistles. In that case I use Sublime Text.

Occasionally I am working from the command line so I just fire up vim to make quick changes.

In the end it is up to your preference and you should try lots of them. But depending on your particular use case at a given time, you may have more than one tool for the job. Sometimes you need a simple hacksaw and sometimes you need a full table saw.
