PHP Editor needed


Recommended Posts

OK, I am new to Mac's, but need to work on them in my new job...

I am looking for a text-editor for editing PHP (and whatever other scripts).

My source code is stored on a running virtual machine. I connect to this via ExpanDrive, so it is seen as a local drive.

I would like:

Line numbering down left margin

Code highlighting

Autocomplete (not a major need)

Integrated file browser

Tabbed interface

I have been using Homesite on the PC for years (I know it's old but I like it). Looking for something similar.

Tried TextMate - but it refreshes the folder tree on focus, which means a wait between ever app switch...

What can you suggest?

Thanks

I have tried Komodo, Netbeans, BBEdit, Aptana, and Zend Studio.

Zend Studio is hands-down the best one, IMO. But for some ridiculous reason, it costs $400.

I've been using Eclipse PDT at home (Vista) and at work (Leopard), and I love it. It has all the features you mentioned, plus a few more like debugger support, PHPDoc, auto code formatting, opening and editing the same file in multiple open views, multiple windows with the same workspace, collecting all of your TODO/HACK/XXX/FIXME's in a nice task list, and comparing files (sort of like diff). There are also lots of useful plugins for Eclipse, like FTP, SSH, CVS/SVN, database browsing, etc... I'd say the only downside is the learning curve :p

Coda is amazing however if your after a free editor try out TextWrangler TextWrangler it is made by the same guys that make BBEdit and textwrangler essentially is the free version (not a lot of difference) for a more streamline webediting single control panel hit coda
