i always wonder which different softwares people use to write php codes? can you guys plz post your best choice?
Notepad, DW is what I use, there isnt one that is better then the other there are some which are specific to PHP but they dont make any better results. Syntax highlighting is the only thing which is good in DW.
I use NotePad++ for simple tasks and Eclipse with PHP plugin for larger projects. But it comes down to personal preference. Try a few and decide for yourself
I use phpEdit as it greys out the html when you are editing php code and greys out php code when you are editing html.. I find that it makes editing much easier. I haven't come across any other editor that does this. I've also downloaded Eclispe and quite like it. It's pretty much the same as other editors though from what I've seen so far. Brew
For PHP exclusively then Zend Studio hands down. HTML well mostly by hand but any WYSIWYG editor will due assuming it can at least generate semi sane html that can be manipulated by css.
