periodically it seems, i'll go around and try all the nice graphical
editors around.. but they never seem to catch on for me. the biggest
problem being that i don't like having to manage a copy of my work on my
pc, then sync'ing it with the copy on the server. if i'm on a clients
site, i can't easily make quick edits directly to their site, else i
forget to sync that change from the site to my workstation the next time
i'm in the office.
hence, for the last few years i just shell into my server (i run all my
own hosting too) and use nano. compiled correctly, nano can also
support color syntax highlighting. (contact me for a .nanorc file
already configured for php 4.x (it could work with 5, but i don't know))
using nano, all my code is only on the server.. so i never have problems
with versioning like i did before. and also, it seems like it
concentrate on my code a lot more.. and learning the code myself, rather
than look for the fancy gui button to put a 'snippet' of it's pre-fab
code into my projects.
also, for the help and study, all i use (other than google, which does
find a lot of links to php.net, and it's users posts) is the compiled
help file available in the downloads section on the php.net site
