PHP/Web page editors or apps ?

Does anyone know of a decent editor for web page and PHP design (free downloads of course).

I'm using dreamweaver 8 to try this out but thats on a trial download and will run out pretty soon. MS Frontpage (don't like it) and doesn't want to work with PHP content, and the older version of dreamweaver hasn't a clue about php.

try this -->MPSOFTWARE | PHP Designer 2007 - Free/commercial PHP IDE for coding PHP for Beginners and Professional!

they have a free download for their IDE, ive not tried the free one, but their paid is pretty good. Now if you can afford it or whatever, I would recommend phpEdit, its great

Thanks, i'll have a look at that now and download what i need.

Glad i got that page i was working on to actually work !!!

I'm just begining to realise the potential of what can be done just with some simple PHP for a web page, hopfully it can be made into some useful extras for some of the shards... away from 'not another weapon script release', but something more useful, not that weapons arn't useful.

Zend Studio is pretty much all you'll ever need.

I use bluefish and vim. Occasionally, I'll open up eclipse with larger projects.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Eclipse is definitely the best of those three, but takes a while to open up (comparatively). Bluefish is a great code builder, has a bunch of tag automation, and is overall pretty cool. I personally don't like the interface. VIM is absolutely fantastic for small, quick changes. It has automatic indention (if you can write or find a good php plugin), and is super-duper quick in loading, saving, and closing times. The interface is completely keystroke-driven, and you can only open one file at a time (though multiple copies of vim can be ran through multiple instances of the command line).
