php text editor

[f1sh3r]

i am looking for a text editor, mostly for web development. html, css, php, mysql...

i want something that will auto-indent my code. im taking a class in VB right now, and i have come to enjoy the feature. i would also like context highlighting.

is there some linux based freeware that is capable of such? thanks fellas.

How about gedit?

What is gedit?

gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.

While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general purpose text editor.
Currently it features:

* Full support for internationalized text (UTF-8)
* Configurable syntax highlighting for various languages (C, C++, Java, HTML, XML, Python, Perl and many others)
* Undo/Redo
* Editing files from remote locations
* File reverting
* Print and print preview support
* Clipboard support (cut/copy/paste)
* Search and replace
* Go to specific line
* Auto indentation
* Text wrapping
* Line numbers
* Right margin
* Current line highlighting
* Bracket matching
* Backup files
* Configurable fonts and colors
* A complete online user manual

I just started using Aptana for my Ruby On Rails development and I like it. I was using RadRails, but it was merged into Aptana which has also has CSS, HTML, and Javascript coding features and there is a link on the startup page to install PHP features also.

Now, Aptana would be a VERY full featured programming environment. It's built on Eclipse and can use any Eclipse plugin (Aptana is basically just Eclipse with web development plugins installed by default). But that comes at the expense of also being a bit more complicated to use (though it all makes sense and is easy once you get used to it).

For something a little simpler, but still with a lot of features for web development, I would suggest Bluefish. To go even simpler with a minimal set of features, I would suggest gedit. To get any simpler than gedit you would have to go to pen and paper

Zend's IDE is great. I think there's a free / cheap version. www.zend.com

EditPad is also very good, EditPad Lite is free, EditPad Pro is inexpensive.

I like 'em both.

Good Luck
