Notepad and Wordpad should not be used for editing php files - period. While some may get away with it, most do not. Macrohard, er Microsoft, adds spaces and lines which will screw up the files for use on *nix. Some have escaped their trap, but many are those who have followed and regretted it ROTFL

. I use and recommend Textpad.

I stopped using Dreamweaver. It gave me the same problems as Notepad.

yes but it's more confortable Smile

I like dreamweaver, the only problem is that it is a pretty big program.

I tried UltraEdit and Dreamweaver. UltraEdit isn't bad, and Dreamweaver is overkill for me. I use AceHTML Pro (the free version - no longer offered - was just as good), Crimson Editor and Eclipse. Though Eclipse has promise and both AceHTML and Eclipse have prompting/help for PHP and other languages, Crimson is the fastest and easiest.

Notepad/Wordpad are deadly to CGI Perl/Python also - causes many of those dreaded Code 500 server errors... Wink

Interesting...

Eight months have passed since I last posted in this thread, and I'm still using WinSyntax 99% of the time, but it's starting to look a little 'yellow' these days, especially since I started playing around with Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

I do LOT of 'coding'. I need an editor that is small, portable, and doesn't get in my way, so to speak. I wanna get into scripts, do my business, and back out again without fussing around with a lot of stuff I'll never use. I work off of a 'thumb drive' as much as a hard drive, blah, blah, blah...

WinSyntax is still #1 in my book. However, Notepad++ is bringing up the rear! Wink

I´m still using Weaverslave , but I just found out there is a new version.

Hrm... I've got another one for you... maybe...

I don't know if anyone else is interested in THIS sort of stuff, so I don't want to start another thread, but here's another great editor, albeit NOT a text/HTML editor!

I discovered this 'editor' a while back, while patching Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!. A bug has been present in the 'teatimer' executable for about a year, and I got tired of waiting for 'them' to fix it, so I fixed it... with the help of ResHacker. This app is a beauty!

Anyway, I thought I'd throw that in the mix, for what it's worth... Wink

Thanks, that´s a very special editor. Interesting is also the link at the bottom for " German readers". 10 pages about this editor:

Greatly used but stopped with them:

Winsyntax, notepad, vi, PHPDesigner

Crap that i've tried:

Dreamweaver, crimson, PHP Coder, WebCore, PHP Edit, PHP Notepad and many more that don't support unicode.

GREAT STUFF i still use:

- UltraEdit = great for huge files, it can your 1Gb apache logs without crashing
- Notepad2 = used for single fast file editing, no tabbing
- WinMerge
- HHD Hex Editor

Hrm...

Just installed UltraEdit-32, since it was mentioned a couple of times here. Can't say I'm really impressed, so far. Maybe it grows on you. That's the nature of these things... Wink

Not to beat a dead horse, but I should have mentioned... for raw HTML I use whatever happens to be handy, since I know HTML backwards, forwards, and upside down. However, when things really matter, I crank up Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!, just to make sure everything is up to snuff (whatever that means). That's still the best HTML editor, IMHO, bar none -- but, I really don't use it that much any more -- only when I'm obviously overlooking something, and can't figure it out -- and I'm in a hurry, or some such situation.

If you work with a lot of HTML, it might behoove you to look into it...

BTW, WinSyntax handles HUGE log files too -- never fails to amaze me, how well it does with them!

Yep that is a sweet program! Used it for many things, including to change the word "Start" in the start button to "Stray"! Razz
