Best Editor for xHTML/PHP/CSS?


Question

Hey all,

Just like the title says, I am looking for an alternative to Notepad...for some reason, people seem to think that they are amazing, just because they code from Notepad :huh:.

I am looking for something that would possibly have syntax helping, also. Hopefully, the program isn't very bloat with features I won't really use. Also, free is good :yes:

Any ideas? Thanks in Advanced!

Personally I prefer Quanta+ over anything else but I don't have a Linux box at the moment and I'm not rebooting each time I want to write some PHP(which is very often) so I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, its the best PHP editor I've used bar Zend Studio which I can't afford and the personal edition takes away all the nice features.

although I honestly doubt you will follow my advice:

The best non-WYSIWYG editor in the world is: VIM!  (Vi IMproved).

Download gVim for Windows here: http://www.vim.org/

This editor has an extremely steep learning curve, that is why most people hate it at first.  But once you get use to it, other editors just seem to suck more then anything.  It comes with a rather extensive set of syntax-highlighting definitions.  I mean..it syntax highlights just about everything I throw at it.

For your purposes it is very good at syntax highlighting for php as it can tell the difference between PHP/HTML/Javascript/CSS sections.

Try it, but if you hate it, well...i understand.

Agreed. Vim is the best editor available anywhere, for any platform and for any purpose (In my oh-so-humble opinion, of course). And if the learning curve on vim is a bit steep, you can try cream instead, which is basically a project to make vim easy to use.

    • Weird how some people don't need to crash 7 rockets before they get it right.
    • Or it's a bug that can easily be fixed with an update. My guess is the limitation is there to prevent game makers from doing dumb things like having a racing game constantly rumble while the car is in motion. Sounds like the threshold or detection needs to be tweaked if it is triggering for no reason.
    • Nice I guess. Azure's DaaS feature has supported that for years. It's so odd to me how MS is deploying Azure and 365 DaaS as two totally different services with different features. I would think the 365 cloud desktops would just be a slightly dumbed down frontend that manages the same service.
    • Oh and gaming on a PC cost way more. To get PS5 Pro performance on a PC it will cost you more, especially with the crazy GPU costs today. While you can play Last of US and Horizon, finally, you cant play GT7 unless you have a PS5 (other games as well).
