Well, there are programs that can help you with PHP coding, but you still need to know where to start, and what you're doing. For example, this program has features like...

- Debug with PHP interpreter
- Insert PHP functions with parameter hint
- Insert common PHP functions/procedures
- Integrated function search in the PHP manual
- Customizable syntax coloring
- Code libraries
- Templates
- HTML dialogs/wizards

I personally use HTML-Kit for PHP Coding. It has built in syntax highlighting and ftp - you can edit files "directly" from the server

I only use NotePad

When I get syntax errors, I just check the error message. lol. You should see me, digging into all those lines of code, trying to find the error.

You gotta love PHP

Hm... PHP Designer 2005 is simply awesome, WDZ!! I had tried quite a few web code editors but nothing can be compared to this one. It just replaced Dreamweaver in the quick access bar.

Loads of customisation and everything a coder can need. Gotta love that ToDo Manager.
And in the moment I thought it wouldn't have FTP I just found it hidden behind the File Manager, it even had a site manager.
I can't believe it is free...

Guys, forget about notepad if you don't wanna bleed your eyes off. Use an editor with line numeration, indenting, code highlighting and such things.

I've just given PHP Designer a try.  It looks like quite a decent editor.

It reminds me very much of PHPEdit in terms of how it first looks.

lol... I've never even tried it... maybe I will now. However, I can't stand code completion and all that crap... I'm happy with the basics, because I know PHP well enough.

NotePad has line and "column" numeration.

blah i hate the IDE's for php i just prefer a program that has line numbers and syntax coloring (so i know ive spelt the functions and stuff right). what i use is Vim text editor and im starting to like notepad2

i use notepad2 (see dt's link) for php coding

if u want some good tutorials to start you off then look at these few websites:

Let's say you have a 500 lines code (and you're still alive, though your eyes are red), and you're looking for line 398. You gotta be guessing until you find it. Note pad has NOT a line numeration, it only indicates the line and column in the statusbar.


lol, WDZ, I thought you knew about it. It has a php tooltip helper, but I'm sure you can turn it off.
