Stephen, I'm using html-kit which is probably similar, using colour and bold to show what is happening. Of course it needs me to know what it is signifying, which is beginning to happen! But the quotes do not stand out, though sometimes the part affected is visible by being the wrong colour.
But it is the old problem of when it is not there one needs to know it should be! I do seriously need to visit the optician; there is just that slight loss of definition, and I was set up with reading, monitor and other glasses, but my eyes seem to change with some regularity - sometimes the change is improvement! Code, of course, needs a high definition. --- And that has made me search to make the face larger; 12pt is quite good. Perhaps I'll spot the typos more easily - and work out the script author's errors with less aggro! Code completion sound good, so I'll have a look. Off to Google..

If you're looking for a good, free PHP editor for windows, which does support syntax highlighting and code completion just to name a couple, you might try phpEdit[1]. I've been using it for a couple of months now and like it quite a lot and after spending a few days getting it configured and tweaked, it does pretty much everything I could ask for, all in a neat, free little package :) My only gripe is that development doesn't seem to be incredibly active. Not inactive, just not overly so. hth, Stephen http://www.mechavox.com/ [1] http://phpedit.net/products/PHPEdit/ ____ .
