Good one man. Rocking the floor
Thanks for finding this and sharing with all of us.
I use editplus to Do PHP tinkering.
Let me also try this.
How about Komodo IDE
@ Anish,
Dreamweaver is awesome,but i think its big application. Not as simple as notepad or winsytax
@ David,
That’s great…thanks for the list dude.
@ Nifty,
Thanks for the Comment dude..
@ Nihar,
Editplus is simple and good one. Thanks for sharing it dude.
@ Mohd,
I never heard of Komodo IDE. Is that free?
I use VS editor for this… But this seems to be of great use if you want editor only for PHP.
Nice find. As far as I know PHP files can be opened and edited through MS Frontpage as well.
I will give this one a try later.
Thanks for this link man. I used PHP Ed till a few months ago and it was amazing… It had integrated debugging as well.
These days I edit PHP files in Notepad
Thanx for information admin. If its easy to customize look and feel, then i will use it. Hehehe… Coz i love vibrant ink look in every editor i used.
@ Softhydit,
Yes, that’s true. If you need editor to open only PHP files then this is great choice.
@ Agent,
Is that possible to open in Frontpage? I don’t think so
@ Ajith,
That’s great to Do it in notepad
You’re good programmer dude..
@ Thegands,
So you’re layout specific
Great i think you can do those changes here too.
I am using Komodo Edit only for writing all my PHP,jQuery, Ajax based scripts! This is just like the Mozilla Firefox Browser and have loads of Addons and also updates automatically! Once you use Komodo Edit you will forget any other Editors!
