What program does one use to create php sites?

Yes, I am clueless, that is why I ask.

 

I normally use EditPlus/Textpad (very light weight)
if you check Zend.com, they have a studio (IDE) that you can use. I am not sure if its free

 

phpDesigner is the best

 

i m using dreamweaver

 

my vote will also go with dreamweaver

 

i use Xampp for setting up server and database ..... and Notepad++ for writing programs

 

Download "wamp" and install it to use Mysql database and manage php files on your pc and dreamweaver to create php files.

 

I use Komodo IDE for most of my PHP editing now. Dreamweaver for CSS and Javascript though because the "intellisense" like function in Dreamweaver is much faster than it is in Komodo. I dont know what Adobe calls their "intellisense" but it all works the same.

I used to use Zend Development Environment but Java is a nasty piece of malware I dont like to run too often, haha.

 

I use Programmer's Notepad. Its a nice little program that supports and actually helps debug a whole range of programming languages.

 

phpDesigner is the best

 

I wouldn't say "best" because it's based on a personal opinion, not fact

I've used multiple programs and each have something I do and dont like about them.

For the longest time I liked ZDE because of it's ability to increase development time of OOP applications. However, being that it runs on a java platform kinda killed it for me. I still use it every once in a while though.

 

I use linux and usually use Screem editor, but lately, with Ubuntu 7.10, it randomly closes (without saving). I since found Kate editor, which works pretty well. It has alot of nice shortcuts for browsing your files (no tabs, but it has a side menu which can expand with a list of open files).

When I had Windows, I used php Designer 2008 and Context editor, both of which were pretty cool.

 

For Linux Shell, I use nano for Debian and vim for Centos

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Edit Pad Pro and your brain. Edit Pad Pro is a supercharged notepad.

 

i like dreamweaver/programmers notepad and notepad.

 

I use Dreamweaver and Super Suite.

 

I'm using UltraEdit-32.. Perfect program... Actually an advanced notepad with syntax highlight, ftp, validation, tabs (multiple files open in one window) and much more..

 

Notepad , but i use dreamweaver really

 

Notepad for the simple coding and Dreamweaver for coding and interface design with the code.
