Davor's PHP Editor (DPHPEdit) is a free PHP IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which allows Project Creation and Management, Editing with customizable Syntax Highlighting, AutoCompletion and Completion Proposal, Running&Previewing Project/Files using Internal or External Browser, Code Exploring and Multiple PHP-related special features. The program is totally FREE and runs on all Win32 platforms. It can posibly be used to manage projects and scripts in languages other than PHP.
It's free, and I think it has a lot of potential. I can become really good program with some improvements.
Cons
Once you start using the program, many design flows become evident.
Can't just open php file, need to create project.
No installer, so need to create own shortcut and file associations.
Summary
It is a good start, but needs many improvements to be useful for real applications.
Horrible software.

Pros
Cons
There is nothing good about using projects for an editor... They just group together files that you say to(there are those things called folders!), which is pointless, especially if you want to upload single files up to a web server... This editor is not what it could be.
Summary
the program has serious problems...

Pros
none so far, didn`t reach that far
Cons
only one con: makes my system work for about 1 second and freeze for the next 10 ones....

<p>my system: Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2 on Abit NF7, 1 gb Dual DDR GEIL, AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 160GB Western Digital JB IDE, ATI Radeon 9550 GE
Summary
Good product, but why use projects?

Pros
The syntax highlighting is very good.
Cons
Why the need for projects? If you want to edit one file only, you shouldn't have to create a project just for that reason.
Summary
Decent but sometimes awkward PHP IDE

Pros
Davor's put a lot into this package that once began as a quick'n'dirty editor. There's Syntax Highlighting, Auto Complete, HTML and PHP Preview, and a powerful Code Explorer which reads all your project files and finds PHP variables, functions and classes in JavaScript and PHP sections.
Cons
While the author has taken this from a quick'n'dirty editor to a full-blown app, it would be nice to have retained some of the simple features rather than forcing everything to be a project.
Summary
Great PHP Edito

Pros
Great program for beginners like me. I found most of my typo's in less than half the time it was taking with notepad. I am very pleased.
Cons
I would like this program to highlight matching '', "", (), {}, and []. It would make learning a little easier.
Summary
Not easy enough to start straight away...

Pros
I haven't tried it enough to find any.
Cons
I couldn't open a PHP file without creating / opening a project what makes working with it very uncomfortable!
Summary
I hate that Editor
xwix
Pros
Well its a free editor,
<p>and its doesn't need much Space.
Cons
The menus are bad desinged, the highlighting is ugly. No, i don't like it!
Summary
Great editor for PHP as well as HTML, Javascript, etc
Pros
Cons
Summary
This editor highlights and changes color of your PHP and HTML keywords.
You can then tell if you're missing the all important bracket or semicolon.
A serious programming lifesaver.
As far as the "$ search" thing mentioned in other reviews, you folks need to understand it is SUPPOSED to work that way. $ is the string variable, and when you press $ the editor brings up a list box of your current strings, which is actually very cool.
I highly recommend this product.
And it is totally FREE, no tricks, registers, no spyware, just FREE and great!
