PHP Editor

[mschmidt]

Hi guys,

I'm loking for a lightweight gui php editor but cant find anything which is available for cent os?

It has to be free and I dont want a IDE, just a lightweight editor.
Bluefish looks good but seems to be not available for Cent OS and I'm struggeling with building it by myself.

So any ideas?

Just to avoid some posts: VI or emacs is not what I'm looking for.

Greetings

Just to clarify: you want an editor that does syntax highlighting for php code? Not an editor written in php that can be used on web pages?

I just tried gedit and that does php syntax highlighting. I suspect most editors will.

Oh, bluefish is in EPEL.

Yes, i use gedit at the moment cause i cant find something better.

Code completion would be nice sometimes and also line numbers and such things would be great.
I will try to install bluefish from EPEL now.

Maybe you should give a try VIM... It is most powerful text editor, although it might be hard on the beggining but after you will get a little bit more into it you will appreciate the power and the time you will be saving using vim editor.

Other possibility is using gedit but with plugins, there are plenty plugins that makes gedit also a really nice editor.

I happen to like ActiveState Komodo Edit, they have it for Windows, OS X and Linux

Hi, thanks for reply.

I am already familar with VIM. I like it as an editor but it is too hard to handle multiple files for me (just from my point of view).

gedit is not very bad but just a little bit of, yeah boring?

Komodo Edit looks good but its not free so no choice for me.
