Take a look at the Zeus for Windows programmer's editor:

Zeus has a project/workspace manager and it is fully persistent. In
fact you can create as many project as you like.

I am not sure about this one.

Zeus has auto complete and intelli-sensing but it only works if a
workspace open. The workspace manager handles the automatic update
of the tags file (using ctags.exe) and Zeus uses this tags file
to drive the code completion and class browsing functionality.

The Zeus keyboard is fully configurable. You can redefine all
functions to whatever key combination you like.

By default this will "display help index" but it can be re-configured
to some other function if required.

Zeus has a built in debugger, but it only comes pre-configure for
the following languages:

java, c/c++ and c#

It may/may not be possible to configure the Zeus debugger for PHP.

Zeus allows any tool to be easily configured. It is very easy to
configure a tool to launch a file into the browser.

Zeus is shareware, but you can run the shareware version with all
functionality enabled for 60 days.

So if you want to test drive the software just go to this link:

I second that. Having used phpEdit and ConTEXT, I prefer ConTEXT.
They both have their good and bad points, but I seem to get more real work
done in ConTEXT.
YMMV.

Just my $0.02

Re: Something like phpEdit?

I've found a great editor for all types of code. It's called ConTEXT,
found at http://www.fixedsys.com/context/. Can be used for C, C++,
PHP, HTML, text files, ASP, and dozens of others. Other code
templates are available for download as well. It's been a great
editor. On install, you can even opt to have it replace Notepad...

Enjoy.

I use Eclipse with PHP plugin.
Works like a charm for me. :-)

For free programs, I find Weaverslave (http://www.weaverslave.ws) a lot
more stable than phpEdit, which gave me a lot of crashes. For a beta,
weaverslave is unusally mature.

And if You want to spend the money: IMO Komodo really rocks.

Thanks, but as i said i am a Windows developer so i cannot use Quanta 3.2 as
it seems to be a Linux app.

Don't bother looking at Jedit - nice once you get it configured and the
relevent plugins installed (very good code folding), painfully slow with
large files / projects switching JDK's has almost no effect. (and my dual
Athlon workstation is no slouch)

Working with Quanta 3.2 for now, so far so good.

Hi,

A few weeks ago i found out about phpEdit and i am very happy with it.
But there are a few problems that are quite small but on an everyday basis
make it quite annoying to use.

I am using the development app, the 'small' things are,

-The workspace is not saved.
-The auto complete of " and ' is useful but it also add an escape '\',
(making the whole operation quite useless as you must go back and delete
both escape chars).
-As a window programmer i am used to Ctrl+F, Alt+F + S, Ctrl+H, Find in
files and a few other keys.
-F1 does not seem to work.
-You cannot select an entry point to debug, (you need to open you index.php
file for example, you cannot instruct the app to debug _from_ index.php)
-Debug with arguments add a 0=0=0= in front meaning i must check it all the
time.
-Debugging using my browser is not possible, (well it is apparently but the
doc is not clear at all, unless i am looking at the wrong section).
-The IDE adds characters b4 the <?php, (right at the beginning of the file
and it is a problem when using sessions).

As you can see most of the problems are personal and not really phpEdit's
problem but it makes it hard for me to use it.
I looked at their forum and i can see that some of the issues have been
raised but the programmers must be too busy to look at it as most posts have
no replies to them.

Is there anything else out-there that would do the same job?

Regards.
