Tab handling is broken (if you select tabs over spaces, selected text will still indent with spaces if you press tab to indent the whole block of code). It suffers from severe option overload. It lacks the ability to use secure FTP. It also lacks simple features like setting a block of selected text to all lowercase without a plugin. 1. i use spaces all the time so this is not a problem for me. 2. i admit it, there are a *ton* of options. most of which i have not even bothered to set. 3. until very recently i have worked exclusively with a local ftp server so a secure connection has not been a concern. 4. i've never wanted to set a block of text to all lowercase so i can't really comment on this one. The only feature I actually like is the ability to edit files via FTP so that when I hit save, it uploads the new copy to the server. So if that's all you really care about in an editor, HTML-Kit will do a fine job. that pretty much sums it up for me. :) Also, if you tell it where PHP is found on your local machine, it will highlight all of the PHP function names. i thought html-kit did this based on the filename extension? i've never pointed html-kit to any php executable (considering it's not even on my local machine) and it recognizes functions fine. are you referring to something else? chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP-editor connected to FTP?
i'm sorry you've had so much trouble with it! but in the hopes of not scaring off other users i feel it is my duty as an html-kit user to respond. I'll back you up on this. I've used HTML-Kit for quite some time... probably over three years now. Great little program, especially for free! 1. i use spaces all the time so this is not a problem for me. 2. i admit it, there are a *ton* of options. most of which i have not even bothered to set. 3. until very recently i have worked exclusively with a local ftp server so a secure connection has not been a concern. 4. i've never wanted to set a block of text to all lowercase so i can't really comment on this one. Same on all accounts for me. Changing the case of blocked text does indeed require an extension, but I regard this as a strength of HTML-Kit. It is infinitely expandable with plug-ins/extensions. i thought html-kit did this based on the filename extension? i've never pointed html-kit to any php executable (considering it's not even on my local machine) and it recognizes functions fine. are you referring to something else? Same here; it takes the appropriate colour scheme based on file extension. You can point to help files for languages though, I believe... -- Aaron Gould Parts Canada - Web Developer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP-editor connected to FTP?
Best groupmember, What editor do you use when working with websites (php) connected directly to the FTP? I like Eclipse 3.0 with the PHP plugin, but it do not have the future to connect to the FTP. - Best Of Times /Peter Lauri -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] PHP-editor connected to FTP?
I use Crimson Editor which will save directly to an FTP location fairly easily. I'm not sure if they fixed this, but in earlier versions it wouldn't save a local backup copy and I ran into problems where it would fail to send via FTP, I'd have a zero byte file on the remote web server and would close Crimson Editor without testing first or something.. So I'd lose whatever edits I did since my last backup. So I stopped using the Save to FTP feature. I do believe that they do local backups now, but out of habit I don't use the FTP Feature. I bet Zend Studio will save remotely too. -TG -Original Message- From: Greg Donald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 7:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP-editor connected to FTP?

I have tried Ultra Edit, which claims to have a similar feature and supports secure FTP, but has a horrible implementation compared to HTML-Kit. EditPlus claims it can connect via secure FTP through an SSH tunnel, which simply does not work if the server it is connecting to does not allow FTP connections at all. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
