For Development like Dreamweaver try NVU

and for PHP IDE see Zend Studio

ah, yes, zend. i meant to type "zend", but typed "zope" because i was trying to get zope working in the other window.

i used zend once (a co-worker won a copy in a contest). it runs on java, and seemed pretty useful. however, i don't like php, and didn't use it for much.

I think the rate for Zend studio is Rs 18'000.

i think it's rs 18,000 after the conversion.

Dear zafar466,
Salam,

If my suggestion required then i will prefer you to use Open Source Editor.

FYI, jEdit

Best Regards.

I am also using Jedit but we can't preview in it like that of Zend Studio and NVU.

I would recommend using gPHPEdit, or BlueFish, they are not WYSIWYG editors though.

If you want WYSIWYG editor, try kompozer, it's same as nvu but with bug fixes and few more features (nvu is not being developed anymore).

P.S: Kompozer and NVU don't support PHP well, and they don't produce "clean" code, which is very hard to read/edit by hand.

I don't get it why people (except saquib_javed) keep forgetting about ECLIPSE.

Free, OpenSource, Platform Independent (kind of

) and many languages can be integrated in it.

The efficiency of this tool can be judged by the fact that ADOBE is using this as a BASE for their Flex2 IDE.

I prefer Quanta Plus for my HTML work...
