Why do you all use to edit/create, etc. php files?

Since I don't know much about php I'm still using notepad. But I'm not sure if I should continue along that route or get something.

Notepad and Wordpad sometimes add extra characters to the end of lines. This will (it is proven) sometimes screw up the file when transfered to *nix servers. For that reason, I highly recommend that you NEVER use them to edit .php files.

I have used Textpad (textpad.com for so many years that I wouldn't think of changing. It is a multi-use programmer's editor.

I meant I am using textpad as I needed a program to show lines.

Hmmm...I wonder if M$ intentionally programmed notepad to screw things up on a nix box? lol

I'll see what SHUSHI is about.

I used to use Winsyntax and got along well with that for about a year. Then started investigating and found Crimson Editor, a good free editor with good syntax highlighting word wrapping and long line support as well as a host of other goodies. Both are available for free download at download.com as far as I know.

I use ConTEXT and it is great. I am new to PHP so having one that shows line numbers really helps out...
