i use homesite 4.5

it works really good for me....

wondering if there is anything better out there that you more professional guys use?? :)

I also use Homesite 4.5. One of the best in my eyez

I have EditPlus installed here, but I usually use CuteHTML (yes, HTML).

I only use it because I'm used to the way the cursor moves there (trust me, it's very different in other programs).
I'm also very used to its Search and Search & Replace functions, I can do them with my eyes closed.
If offers no tag highlighting for PHP, or any sophisticated stuff of any kind.

Once in a while I start up EditPlus and try coding with it, but it's just not the same, despite all the neat features it has.

Homesite 4.5 as well.

Lately I have been using Glimmer.

I like PHPed

All I ever use is EditPlus :)

I'm a dedicated EditPad Lite user. Have been for years. It's free and has all the features you can ask for.
But I'm thinking of buying the Pro version, just for the syntax coloring thingy :)

Im the only one on TextPad? It loads up files like hella quick, but whats so great about Homesite? And is there anything that allows you to find/replace multiple lines of code?

errrm, I really don?t know PHP, but I just use plain old Notepad until I need to do ?find and replace?, then I use Wordpad.

I'm learning my around recognizing functions and conditions to some small extent though. :)

TextPad all the way.

I just LOVE the options... syntax highlighting to easy find and replace, MDI, spell checker...

"Match Brackets" is a LIFESAVER.

I'm just guessing, but maybe it's something that checks } and { and makes sure you don't have too many or too less?

Yeah, probably that's the description of that feature would be if it actually exists...

Put the cursor next to any bracket [ ( {

Hit Ctrl+M

It will jump to the matching bracket...

It's a great way to see if you missed a } when you have a dozen nested IFs, WHILES and FORs.

The easy way is to put it at the last } in each section [if ($action)] and then hit Ctrl+M.

if it doesn't go to the beginning, something's screwed. Then you can use it to narrow down where it's missing pretty quickly.

I can find a missing bracket and fix it in a couple minutes now, rather than the unreliable looking over it manually for half an hour, missing it a dozen times, commenting every bracket pair so you can match them up...

Only to discover you have a line like this

if ($condition) { dosomething;

With no closing }... cuz it's just one statement after an IF, right?

It also helps with nested ( ) for IF statements as well...

Thank you for that info Palmer ofShinra :)

It helps to do things like this:
and even easier:
like the standard is on C/++.

Personally I use the first method, then when releasing the code I just remove the comments to make it cleaner (the comments just help when testing the script, that's all).

Btw FireFly, I was checking out Online Users Section, and I noticed that next to your name it said "No peeking Dark Blaze ;-)" or something similar... Could you tell me which script is that and where I can download it please?

Thank you,

I indent as well... but it's easy to just miss a single bracket now and then, especially in goofy places.

I'm needing it less as I go, but it's still nice to have.

I use UltraEDIT.

I use em all, as I sit here right now I have active files in dreamweaver, homesite, namo, notepad, wordpad, and one even in phped

Dont ask me why, just always use different programs for different types of functions (well except never use frontpage) - I really like homesites ability to run through and make a change on all my files at once - use that all the time, namo has by far the best wysiwyg for my purposes. Dreamweaver gets opened by habit, and the text stuff I use for quick edits, well edits that I do not do straight off of opening the document from the server with cutehtml - that actually probably gets used the most, open, make my change hit save and check it out and see if my change actually worked.

CuteHTML

TextPad all the way here, too... Ctrl+M is your friend :cool:

I use and will always use UltraEdit!!

The best Editor ever! hehe

I have always used PHPed but also use editpad light.

I use Homesite 5 and PHPEd 4 beta

Macromedia's Homesite 5 and CuteFTP Pro v2 HTML editor when i quickly have to change something remotely. :)

Now I just use UltraEdit (if anyone cares lol)

PHP Coder is the best. Just the right colors for each function although the project has been abandoned for a while now.

PHPCoder also. Only problem I've had is that very long strings won't highlight for replace and sometimes if you close a file then try to re-open it you get a blank page and must restart the program. Nice price, though. ;)

console: /bin/vi
desktop: /usr/X11R6/bin/nedit

I'm sure that some other people here have already said this, but I use Edit Plus, it's not fantastic, but it's fine for what I want it to do.

A friend of mine swears by MetaPad

I'm still a hardcore TextPad dude myself

UltraEdit. for all.

I use Textpad for programming. Though I am going to check out Komodo once I get my new machine running. It is an IDE for PHP, PERL, Python, TCL and other languages. It just won't run on the pathetic machine I am stuck using now.
