RE: [PHP] A new freeware PHP Ide

Its good work, Lorant. Impressive, but isn't it amazing how so many of these editors are looking more and more like the interface Allaire Homesite popularized for HTML+CFML+ASP sometime back? Since Homesite was not free, along came Ultraedit, TextPad, and a bunch of others. Specifically for PHP, I have seen Ultraedit and TextEdit, TextPad all of them add specific libraries. Now "PHPEdit" also has context-sensitive help (those autocomplete pop-down thingies, what do you call them..). My personal preference: Homesite, hands-down winner. It does much more than PHP, and if you dig a bit, you can take a look at the EXTENSIONS directory and add a lot of custom context-sensitivity you need! I can also make my own command tabs so that it writes syntax and other conditional If-else stuff automatically, and it was one of the first tools that popularized color-coding in pure Internet tools. Most customizable, support for many languages, and IMHO, the best interface. None of these "freebies" have actually made me shift from Homesite.. Again, I am sure your tool (which is quite OK for a first, untested version!) will appeal to many in this forum, but I would say that Homesite is still worth every darn cent!
