Ask the friendly journallers: A PHP editor
About two weeks ago I started a bit of PHP, mainly because my father in laws website needs to be redone.... And if I say that, it's worse that jawtheshark.net which hasn't been updated since 1999 (based on 1996 tech) and looks that way.
His hosting offers PHP so I'm going to take advantage of it and I'm brushing up my CSS skills. (Fuck, why is vertical alignment such a bitch in CSS!) The main thing I'm going to use PHP for is multi-linguality: I'll detect the browsers language preference and then display a page in either English, German of French (or Luxembourgish if some unfortunate fucker is going to translate it). The user can of course change the preferred language and I'll store it in session. All this is in place, but because of my (probably-non-PHP-like) programming traditions I end up with so many files.
Thing is: I'm on Windows for the moment. I used BlueFish on *nix and loved it. NVu is too wysiwig for me. So, I'm using the probably worst interface there is: Amaya. It's nice if you have two or three pages open at the same time. What do you guys use? Preferred in order: open source, freeware and last (but not preferred at all) payware. (Especially, because I'm doing this for free)

Both of you: I was thinking of something a bit more web-enabled. I'm more a VI adept... I used emacs at college, but forgot most of it. VI is my daily use for editing Unix config files.

No, actually never. I did have an "exploding" monitor (it made shotgun like sounds) once though, but it was at least 10 years old. (And worked just fine in that period)

Eclipse + PHPEclipse (Score:1)
Haven't had a problem thus far, and its a real bonus using the SVN plugins for SCM directly in your projects.
I also use Eclipse for my java/JSP/Struts/Hiber projects as well as ColdFusion.

I would concur. Eclipse with the PHPEclipse plugin is pretty dang decent for free. It will integrate with CVS or subversion for source control (highly recommended). It does code completion and some other cool stuff. My only real annoyance

Thanks to both of you... I'll definately look into Eclipse + PHP plugins. After all, I used Eclipse in my former job a lot....

I have Dreamweaver lying around somewhere. My sister needed it for her courses a few years ago. Of course it's a pirated version and I'd rather not use a pirated version when I can stay legal. Dreamweaver is definately overkill for what I need ;-)

No, absolutely not. I understand your choice, I just don't want to shell out money for it and so I prefer to seek out a free alternative. That's all..
