Best PHP Viewer?

Hi members,

Slightly off topic, but what's the best PHP or code viewer?

I'm opening PHP files with notepad, but the code is all over the place? Any idea on how to structure it properly or which viewer is recommended?

Thanks

I swear by PhpStorm for all of my development in PHP. It's inexpensive (only $199 for corporate or $99 for personal), it's flexible, it's fast, and it accelerates my work more than it slows me down.

PhpStorm might be better just looking at it quickly but I use Sublime Text 2 and it works great and can be used for most programming languages if not all with a syntax detector that helps you not miss a closing semicolon or something like that

I use dreamweaver myself, but I am a designer. It also has shortcuts for the most common tags. You can view code in Explorer also, it colors everything out nicely.

As you told me in a thread a while ago: "Prepare for a flood of idiots to tell you why some text editor is better than a full fledged IDE."

I still shake my head.

As you also added: "Some people walk to the store, and others drive to the store."

How true.

Yep. This! I've coded several multi-thousand line applications in this. Love it. I use the Twilight theme, it's easy on the eyes Plus the FTP plugin makes managing files pretty easy (not to mention bookmarks for large files). The list goes on... I could wrap for it all day. I use this for all web development from PHP to JS to HTML/CSS.

To each their own.. Sometimes an IDE is overkill for people. For me it is. I prefer a simple text editor with nice highlight themes, and a few other perks. I don't need code completion because remembering the commands to complete code could take longer than just typing the code yourself. Plus less random code inserts where you don't realize.

I prefer WeBuilder because of its pretty much unlimited flexibility, snippet use, macros, diff tool, embedded code validation, code completion, SFTP integration, etc...too many useful features to list here. Recently I've been testing out Sublime Text and I like its use of themes, but that's about it. I still stick with WeBuilder for "all-use."

Here's what it comes down to.

If you're a designer and coder in one, Dreamweaver all the way, especially with the Master Collection.

For free I'd just go with Eclipse and get all the extensions. The Aptana plugin for eclipse is so nice.
Notepad++ is great for quick jobs, I'll do it for things such as modifying php config files on the fly.

It's best to pick 1 or 2 tools at most and just use those, knowledge of your tools breeds efficiency which begets productivity.

Notepad++ or Context both work well.

As much as they do work well, I am still in the habit of opening notepad because when I open files directly off my server, they open in notepad and to be honest I am lazy and haven't looked at where to change the default program to open those files.

I was hooked to dreamweaver... untill I got introduced to PHPStorm. Whow... sped up coding tremendously, warns you of errors on the fly, auto-complete... all in all very, very handy!

Basically, the people who poo-poo IDEs often haven't tried them. They talk about "herp derp code completion" and such nonsense, which most of us just turn off in an IDE. Rapid prototyping, code folding, debugging support, syntax highlighting, CSS-context paths, etc, don't seem to ever enter the discussion, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

They're usually the same people who want to build a framework "from scratch" for an application that gets 500 clicks/day.

The good news is that I usually end up with a contract to fix whatever they've cocked up, so all's well that ends well.

The OP just asked for something to view and probably make small edits with. I don't think he's looking for a full blown IDE to program in.

I love a good ide.

However, if you are switching languages every 10 minutes like I sometimes am a good editor that handles multiple languages helps tremendously.

I like pspad as an editor because it handles a shit load of languages and I can have php, asp, fox and vb stuff all open at the same time (it handles cobol too but I don't do cobol anymore). ;p
