Bellow is a list of most popular PHP editor software. If you are often to edit hmtl code, possible you know some of software list below.

• PHP Expert Editor
• DzSoft PHP Editor
• DSV PHP Editor
• Rapid PHP Editor
• Notepad ++
• Edit Plus
• PHP Designer

Those softwares are specially designed for editing PHP files. So that partial of those softwares give facilities of php code database and also can record functions we have made.

But there also doesn’t give facilities of php code database, just as editor. For this kind, it’s usually lighter, you can work faster and your computer will load faster. Because no need a lot of using RAM (memory).

My choice is lighter software, it usually not providing php code database, not providing “fast explore” facilitiy, and without “view design” facilitiy, including: Notepad ++ and Edit Plus. Notepad ++ is really simple and of course very light, while Edit Plus have more complete features.
