    Filezilla is a FTP programm. With this you can upload/download stuff. You cannot code PHP with it.

    Get yourself a plain text editor like notepad++ or an IDE like NetBeans.

    Netbeans has a built in FTP program. You can program it to automatically upload changes every time you save a file, or can be set to manually upload when you are ready. It combines the editor and ftp into a single program.

    Oh yeah. Notepad++ also has a FTP plugin. Choose whatever you are comfortable with :eek:

    Notepad++ is a good tool.

    Filezilla is great for FTP but not much else

    Netbeans is a little complicated for beginners.

    EditPlus is the best editor for PHP code editing as it has features like syntax highlighting , function help , auto-fill function names etc,..
    You can also use Dreamweaver , you should learn to use various editors & IDEs & choose the best that is easy for you to use

    You forgot to mention that both of these products are proprietary. EditPlus costs 35$ and Dreamweaver costs 400$

    These tools are NOT for beginners. Sure, they feature nice stuff, but what good is function help, when you have absolutely no idea about functions? Kinda like giving a student driver a formular 1 car. Sure, he might be able to drive with it, but he can't use its full potential.:p


    Besides: Notepad++ and NetBeans are free.
