Good php editor
- by Web Developer
i have seen through other questions on the topic but most are a bit old. I looking for a good editor for developing on PHP in Linux(ubuntu). Here is my requirements
Basic editor features
Free
Light-Weight
Syntax highlighting
Code Folding (class,function,if/else/while/foreach block)
Code completion
Invalid Syntax/Error highlighting as you type
Auto code intending
Snippet support(pieces of custom or language specific codes that i can insert)
Extendable support
It would be great if it had the following
Debugging support
WYSIWYG
Code formatting
Framework support(cakephp/yii/zend/smarty)
Testing support
Todo
Native look and feel(Gnome)
Flex/ROR support is welcome but not a requirement
Mysql support
I have tried the following editors
Netbeans - it bloated, resource hogging and doesnt not have a native look and feel.
Eclipse is okay but i cant fold if/while blocks and slow.
Gedit can be extended and i have tried it but still i could not fold code or show error.
I currently use Geany but it doesn't inform me of syntax errors as i type. If you have ways to solve the problems with above editors they too are also welcome
