Hello everyone, I currently using SciTE to edit php code. But I want something with more powerful features, like auto completion. I have researched a little bit and most of the people recommend Eclipse with PHP plugin. But many people say it's complication and the exe file is larger than 170 MB. Now I am down to Notepad++ and CodeLobster PHP edition. Have you tried them and what's your commends on them. If not, what else would you recommend? Thank you.
For some quick edit for single PHP files i use Notepad++. It's pretty simple and just perfect for a quick edit as its a super lightweight editor. To manage a whole project i recently switched from Ecipse to Netbeans 6.8. I had some issues with Eclipse as it was using to much resources and Netbeans also gives you all the features you need for PHP. I can highly recommend it to you
Thank you Nyu. I heard about Netbeans too. But hasn't tried it. Actually, I just want an editor that can do auto complete for function's name. I don't think Notepad++ can do it, but I just tried CodeLobster PHP edition and it can provide that feature. For instance, I can do: MyClass->"function name suggestion come out here"
Netbeans has this capability It's realy nice cause you are also shown the PHPDoc for your function if you added one
