I’m a PHP newbie – what’s the best free PHP editer for WinXP?
I’ve got PHP all set up and running. I’ve been writing pages in Notepad, but I’m looking for something more robust and maybe geared more directly at PHP. Please give me any ideas you might have.
Thanks!

Notepad++ is pretty good. A cracked version of Dreamweaver is handy. Also DzSoft PHP editor is good I hear.
Look at sources for some good suggestions.

I use jEdit which is completely free. Don’t be put off by the fact it’s Java, it runs just fine.
It does come with a less-than-ideal default setup, because it has a plugin architecture, and none are installed by default, so grab BufferTabs, TextTools and JDiff as a minimum.
The search-and-replace in multiple files, with regular expressions if needed, is pretty much a killer feature in my experience, I haven’t seen anything close to it in other apps.
Then again, in my last job, everyone else swore by TextPad. Editors seem to be a pretty personal thing.
