Hi Sonnich,
Do yourself a favor and get a better editor. :P
Once you have seen full-color code highlighting and code completion, you
don't want to use notepad again.
I use Zend Development Environment at the moment.
It is not free, and I have mixed feelings about it.
However, you can use a lot of good free ones too.
I used Eclipse earlier (PHP Eclipse), which was quite good.
Here are a bunch with reviews:
http://www.phpeditors.com/review/
which is a good point to start your quest for a good editor.
But I must warn you: It is very difficult to know beforehand which
editor you like.
Best is to download them, use them in a project, and if you don't feel
satisfied simply try another.
Personally I hate reading 5000 pages before I know how an editor works,
so I always look for simplier editors because they tend to be more
intiutive in use.
I think PHP Eclipse might be a good choice, but you need a high-end
computer because the framework (Eclipse) is quite heavy on your CPU.
It can do a lot, but is also a little harder to master than, say, PHP
Designer 2005 to name another simple good one.
Good luck!
Regards,
Erwin Moller
PS: Don't be shy and post your findings here. Some in here, like me,
like to hear how a certain editor behaved and what you liked about it
and what not. Reviews are always welcome. :-)
