Why do you all use to edit/create, etc. php files?
Since I don't know much about php I'm still using notepad. But I'm not sure if I should continue along that route or get something. |

Notepad and Wordpad sometimes add extra characters to the end of lines. This will (it is proven) sometimes screw up the file when transfered to *nix servers. For that reason, I highly recommend that you NEVER use them to edit .php files.
I have used Textpad (textpad.com for so many years that I wouldn't think of changing. It is a multi-use programmer's editor. |

I meant I am using textpad as I needed a program to show lines.
Hmmm...I wonder if M$ intentionally programmed notepad to screw things up on a nix box? lol
I'll see what SHUSHI is about. |

I used to use Winsyntax and got along well with that for about a year. Then started investigating and found Crimson Editor, a good free editor with good syntax highlighting word wrapping and long line support as well as a host of other goodies. Both are available for free download at download.com as far as I know. |

I use ConTEXT and it is great. I am new to PHP so having one that shows line numbers really helps out... |
