Best PHP Editor?

[dabomb1022]

Hello fellow Coders. I'm a web developer and was wondering what the best IDE is for php and html. I have been using coda on the mac and really like that. After getting Linux I have installed bluefish editor but haven't used it yet. What is the best editor out there for Linux?

I've always used basic text editors with syntax highlighting for php.

Gedit (Linux)
Notepad++ (Windows)

I've never used any IDEs for php for some reason...

I have used notepad++ before. Maybe I will install it with wine but that's a waste of space getting wine for that. I also need a good ftp client if anyone can help me out with that too. I have been using cyberpunk for mac. If I get each of these programs ill be all set with ubuntu!

gedit is very similar to notepad++, I would just use that on Ubuntu.

For ftp, I always use the filebrowser. But if you want a more full blown ftp program, then FileZilla is quite good.

if you have lots of memory, go with netbeans (http://netbeans.org/). You can also find it in the repositories. Netbeans is heavy weight, but great for complex projects.

Geany (http://www.geany.org/) is a lightweight editor, still packing a lot of features.

Otherwise, basic editors will probably be enough (gedit in Gnome or Kate in KDE for instance).

I'm quite happy with Aptana Studio 3.

Definitely Aptana! :)

Aptana 3 if u want a few new features and a bit better looking GUI, now with themes, but I would recommend you to use Aptana 2, much more stable, but slower.
You will also probably need PDT package (PHP Development Tools) and you'll have some problems with it in Aptana 3.

p.s.: aptana is not just for linux, but also for Mac and Windows.

Another vote for Aptana here altough komodo edit is quite good also...

Notepad++ and Filezilla are great, and there's an ftp plugin in Notepad++ which makes life a lot easier.

I love gedit more than Notepad++

I today only use Bluefish to code php and html,
i had with my old computer some runs with netbeans, but netbeans was way too heavy to me,
Bluefish is pretty simple to use so you dont need to wonder that much the program itself, you can just write code.

I give my points to Bluefish.

Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/2) the best cross platform everything editor.

I am using sublime text 2 on ubuntu 12.04. It is good editor so far, has most of the features like intellisense and other stuff.

gedit all the way, has everything you need imo.

I'd go with vim; it only takes a few days to get the basics and it's great for when you need to quickly edit a file via ssh or something like that and still need something powerful.

Once you get the hang of it, vim is incredible. I've reached the stage where I find text editing annoying in post boxes like this one, because I can't do all the mad stuff that vim allows me to.

geany is another good, lightweight program
