I need a good php-editor. The one I now have is a beta version but has a lot of bugs and stuff.

Do you know any good editor?

Maurice,

My favorite PHP and HTML editor is definitely HomePage. It has a lot of bells and whistles including coloring of code, knowledge of keywords (PHP, CGI, JavaScript) and much more. I like it as a good programming environment.

You can try it at http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/

I stopped upgrading at version 4.5.2, but that was mostly due to my ingrown habits. I tried newer versions, but my fingers didn't like them. The newest versions probably have even more facilities.

There are two editors that I consider decent:

PHP-IDE(AKA PHP-Coder) is a stable and easy to use text editor with a PHP twist. I never bothered to use it's ability to test scripts with PHP's engine, so I can't vouch for that, but it is a very good program. It has the usual color coding and such, but when you get into large amounts of text or complicated quotes in quotes, it gets confused with it's text coloring. It handles most things involving PHP well, although it doesn't have a full library of functions. In addition, you can confuse it if you load too many huge files into it. You ought to be fine, usually however. It doesn't have a big footprint, and let's go of memory well, which is always a bonus. It also has brace matching functions and other similar things.

I've heard of another called emacs for windows and *nix. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html
It's pretty much the god of text editors according to my friend, and it can handle just about any language you can name with a variety of features. I don't know many details, so check it out is all I can say.

Do you know how to configure for Homesite to display php preview without saving the file first in .php?

I don't think that is possible. Ask their hotline. They have been helpful to me before in such matters.

EditPlus is a lean, fast and nice Windows editor (www.editplus.com). It has color coding for PHP and lots of other languages. I use it as my only text editor.

i like ultraedit... does keywords/syntax highlighting/etc for every language i can think of (my copy is about 2 versions old, i had to cut and paste some text into a config file for PHP highlighting, but it's probably standard now... if not, it's easy to add, instructions on the website)
