Notepad=out Notepad2=IN
 

after suffering through notepad wrecking the line breaks of my init.php file (yes I had a backup, but still a pain) I decided to trash it in favor of Notepad2 which supports php code like the posts here (different color for different functions, etc..). It also supports longer strings for finding and replacing stuff. This is probably old news for the rest of you, but it is new to me, so I thought I would mention it.

I prefer Programmers Notepad, as it can handle regular expressions.

I've been using Notepad 2 for a year now, and I love it. It's so great. I suggest people download it, and use it. ;)

i've been using php designer 2005 and it's been working fine for me.

When i code i use 2 editors

edit plus 2 and homesite ... they are both great editors and have their own pros and cons ;)

I have never found an editor that I can work better and faster in then UltraEdit. I have many paid for editors for php and text just rotting away.

Yep, UltraEdit is nice too (not to mention vi ^^)

I use nano for quick edits, but I'll DL the file if it's a big change and use UE.

This is also a great progam Notepad++ (it's free)

Notepad++

Yup, i use that one, it rocks, takes any format, and i like documents being in tabs so i can switch from one to another, and third.

Really cool Notepad++
