PHP editor

Hi,
I am new in PHP, and wondering if someone can suggest a good php editor
(free is better but I can pay up to $100) and also a good resource to study.
I have background in C++ and Java programming.
Thanks-Rob

I like EditPlus www.editplus.com en Notepad++ (free) at
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net

Eclipse and PHPEclipse:

http://eclipse.org
http://phpeclipse.de

Eclipse is a universal IDE coded in Java that is completely moddable.
PHPEclipse is a very powerful plugin for Eclipse that adds PHP support.
It's gonna take you about an hour or two to get all the components
downloaded and installed, but you will be very, very glad you did.

P.S.: Free and open-source.

There are a lot of good tutorial sites. But the source of information I
keep coming back to is

http://www.php.net

You could go straight to a tutorial at,

http://www.php.net/tut.php

What you will find in time is that almost any search you do for php in
google will bring you back to this site.

Once you have got going with php then you will also find a lot of libs and
code examples on sourceforge.

I don't know if you are a UNIX person, but I see someone has written a
PHP plugin for vim (the vi clone) which does colouring, autoformatting
etc. I'm sure a google will find it if that suits you. I know vi is not
everyones' favorite editor, but I write 99% of my stuff using vi.

Please note my email address changes periodically to avoid spam.
It is always of the form: month-year@domain. Hitting reply will work
for a couple of months only. Later set it manually. The month is
always written in 3 letters (e.g. Jan, not January etc)

I would also consider PHP Designer 2005 on

The Zeus for Windows IDE has class browsing, syntax highlighting,
code folding and intellisensing for the PHP language:

http://www.zeusedit.com/php.html

The intellisensing in is driven by the information produced by ctags
and some extra configuration is required. This link shows how to
configured the intellisensing:

> and also a good resource to study.

You might want to get hold of the PHP SDK API reference which is
in HtmlHelp format. This link describes where to get this file and
how to integrate it into the Zeus Quick Help feature:

I'm a big fan of Homesite... although it's not technically a PHP editor, it
does color the code just fine and that's the main thing for me. I've been
using Homesite for years now for HTML only sites as well as my PHP/mySQL
sites.

Here is a screenshot: http://www.dvigroup.net/etc/share/pic/workshot.jpg

You can get it here: http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/

It's $99 and is small and fast.

It has a deployment wizard and system, but I'm not a big fan of that part.
Dragging into your FTP program is several seconds faster if you are like me
and constantly change little things and upload. Other than that, I don't
have any complaints.

As for study, PHP.net is your friend... its all there. The gold there
though, is really the user comments. 99% of my questions are answered by
the user comments, not the function definitions.

www.php-editors.com might be helpful although it hasn't been updated
for some time.

I use vim - syntax colouring, auto indenting and a proper code editor -
not a texteditor. There's also ctags stuff for php and vim although
I've never managed to find the time to work out how to use it.
