    I think this should go in the webmaster forum but anyway....are you looking for a PHP editor or a tool to let you edit your mySQL database?

    Yeah. At least it has buttons for doing php.

    I still feel like I'm copping out any time I use Dreamweaver instead of Vi

    I've been using a program called PHPEdit. It's good if not spectacular.

    I tried it (DWMX) with PHP once and I was pleasantly surprised -- I'm pretty sure it was Bertie's Early Retirement Fund that got the treatment, and it took me less than a hour to do the whole thing. I don't think it's really for a n00b though, you'd need to have a fair understanding of databases first. The PHP code it outputs is a bit crufty too. Worth a go though I guess.

    VIM does color coding for php ithink or also Editplus.

    EasyPHP is a good proggie.
    It set up a apache server with phpv4 and mySQL.
    Handy for testing out your code.

    If vim is too advanced, try pico. :)

    Vim really is the business when you get used to using it in any way. The first time I looked at it I just started and thought WTF?After using it for a few minutes I wondered why I ever messed around with any other text editor. Far nicer than emacs but that's only my opinion.

    Only took me four or five years to get around to learning vim, and only then because my Smoothwall box doesn't have pico. I still only know the basics. :)
