RE: [PHPLIB] Editor for PHP From: Chris Johnson (chris <email protected>)

I juse "vi" myself, being an old hand at Unix, and having all my web
sites served on Unix-based machines.

However, if you want syntax highlighting, and MS Windows work-alike
features, you might take a look at a shareware program called VIM (for
VI IMproved). I use it for editing JavaScript on Windows, since it can
emulate "vi" fairly accurately, but also does a whole bunch of other
things, including syntax highlighting for dozens of languages. And if
it doesn't support the language you want, it's not hard to set up your
own definition file to do it as well.

There are a number of versions (VMS, BeOS, Mac, Unix including X11 GUI,
and of course, a Windows 32 GUI version). The author is Bram Moolenaar.
Version 5.5 was released in September of this year.

Go to www.vim.org to learn more and download it.
