 Try out N++. It's very good, supports a whole bunch of languages by

 Takes two minutes to install, and 45 seconds to uninstall it if you

Eclipse + PDT is my recommendation FWIW...

shudder is right and it appears that they didn't get their Mac 
option running by fall of 2008.


I use Eclipse for Java, but have not used it for php much. I need not 
only an editor but also a file manager. Everything I've see from 
Eclipse (thus far) is that you develop locally and use something else 
to upload and keep track of your file remotely -- but I could be 
wrong.


Thus far, I use GoLive, but sometimes that sucker craters and it's a 
bitch to get everything back the way it was. It has zero tolerance 
for files that might have a problem.


Cheers,

tedd

Not an ide - I use bluefish, which is a gui text editor with syntax 
highlighting. It's an X11/gtk2+ application, packaged for most Linux 
distribution (ie yum install bluefish on Fedora or RHEL)


For previewing, I just run a web server on my development box.

Only hitch with bluefish - the syntax highlighting sometimes gets 
confused and it drops the highlighting. Press F5 and it reloads.


I believe there is a windows port of bluefish but if I was on windows, 
I'd probably just use Homesite (not free).

Look at phpEdit. It has everything you are looking for and is rock solid. I love the folding and 
regions features.
