I like kate more. :)

Although I will say Quanta has some nice features. I still prefer kate.
But I use kate for everything. CPP programs, Bash, PHP, PERL, whatever.

What more do you want out of a text editor than text highlighting and the
ability to type? Unless you want autocomplete and WYSIWYG etc. which isn't
really necessary for PHP programming.

I also use it in XP. PHPEdit is the best IDE for PHP (IMHO). The
latest (enough) stable version has *many* & *many* good features. It
has all the features of Zend + so many. For me, Zend is verrrrry slow;
but PHPEdit is so fast. Apart from it's nice document plugins, the
recent version has test case plugins and project manager plugins too.
Very useful... Indeed free (but donation is much accepted). It is
worth to download some dlls to work in Windows 98.

As I already said, for Perl, the coolest editor I have ever seen is
OptiPerl (<http://www.xarka.com/optiperl/features.html>) . We may not
get such editor for PHP :-(

That is only because Microshaft did not include those files with the
original version of their OS, therefore it is an OS problem not a PHPEdit
problem.

Actually, I use Vim for everything. Quanta has some nice autocomplete
features, is all. (I don't think Kate does. Or does it?)

I must note that when I tested Quanta it, for some reason,
mangled/destroyed a project I was working on! I stopped using it. I don't
know what happened or how, but I'm afraid to use Quanta now.

I realize that is a bit of a contradictory statement to my initial
one-word suggestion, but...well...

Use Vim!

Re: PHP IDE or PHP editor

Have a look at this:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/03/12/11FEphprev_1.html

Hope it sheds some lights...
Original (printed version) contains some comparison charts where phped
beats zend studio 7.8 : 5.5

This will depends on the platform on which you develop. For a Windows
solution take a look at Zeus for Windows:

http://www.zeusedit.com/lookmain.html

Just some of the features include:

+ Fully configurable syntax highlighting
+ Project/workspace management
+ Seamless FTP editing
+ Integrated class browser
+ Code completion and intelli-sensing
+ Integrated version control using the Microsoft Source Code
Control (SCC) interface, including CVS integration.
+ Quick Help context sensitive help engine

For example the Quick Help feature gives instant access to
the PHP CHM manual.

ROFL, That same thing happened to me when I tried using quanta. Completely
destroyed my entire project and all of its files. I haven't used it since.

Now Kate doesn't have autocomplete. I personally don't like the feature.
Well I better rephrase. I am pretty sure you can make it auto close
brackets etc. for you. But like I said I don't like using those kinds of
features. You might can get an autocomplete plugin but I am not sure.
Never looked.

What I do like about it is the project feature, the way it handles opened
files in the file list, the file directory, and most important. The built
in shell. :)

Personally, I like UltraEdit. You can integrate the PHP extended CHM
help file into it too.

Re: PHP IDE or PHP editor

I can ask you what platform you use: Linux, MacOS, Winblows, etc..
Then find for the specific platform a PHP tool.

You can also go to www.eclipse.org and download Eclipse, together with
the PHP-coding plugin and have a development tool for those three
mentioned OS's.

They all have the same Look & Feel so, if for some reason you have to
migrate your development station to another platform, you don't have the
problem to get yourself used to a new development platform.

Mark.

P.S. Eclipse is developed by IBM and a lot of complementary parties and
available free for download.

Although I've read further on that you are using Windows 98, I couldn't
let a thread go with a title like that without plugging:

You should try the new KDevelop 3.0. You can use kate as its editor, but
have a lot more GUI features in it - like better project support, class
view, function library view, optional autocomplete as you type function
names, function parameters tooltip when inside function parenthesis, etc.,
etc. It's a big improvement over previous kdevelop releases and works
nicely with PHP (among other languages).
