If you need a local server use Wampserver, it's easier to use than XAMP : http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php[/quote]

Easier? I tried WAMP... it didn't work, as for XAMPP, its either a one or 2 click installer, or unzipping an archive... How is that not easy?

I realise that we are getting off topic but I like MoWeS (previously WOS). It can also be moved to another directory (drive or computer) and edits the config to make it work. Smile http://www.mowes.chsoftware.net/

I had exactly the same problem, but the opposite. XAMPP wasn't working as it refused to start the MySQL service. Wamp on the other hand worked straight away.

I also didn't like it that XAMPP would run PHP and MySQL as a service by default during startup (which means they would run even when I didn't need them to).

@Yorick: Not sure if that was an old version of the installer, but in the current version, and for as long as I can remember, you need to explicitly state it to be a secive during the installer
You can also change if its a service or not from the XAMPP control panel

I've actually never tried WAMP... I've just been happy with XAMPP.

[quote author="Jelmer" date="1241495866"]I personally like e-Texteditor - it's very similar to the Mac program (which was Textmate if I remember correctly). I've tried both Aptana & NetBeans also, but nothing works as fast as e-Texteditor. [/quote]

I personally have found that nothing works as fast as UltraEdit. Then again, most people will shy away from editors you have to pay money for, but as with everything, you get what you pay for. Glad to see you don't mind shelling out a few bucks for something you see as a quality product.

UltraEdit paid for itself for me with just a one hour job. I've never found easier or more powerful scripting and macro languages available in a text editor. It handles features that make most editors slow and bulky, while keeping a slim footprint and running lightning fast. I can't think of a single feature I could possibly use that it doesn't already have, and I can think of a lot. Then again, I probably will never be able to use every feature it does have, either.

I wouldn't dream of using anything else, but then I need it for more than just CodeIgniter and PHP. I'm not only getting code completion for CI/PHP, but for CSS, HTML, Javascript, and MySQL as well. All my development needs. (Of course, it handles everything for C++ and my other languages as well, but development has become my primary focus lately.)

Ultraedit is nice but I'm stuck for now with Eclipse at work. And yeah, the price actually not much.

Have you tried vim ? Wink

It's free (as in speech AND beer), it's open source, it works on just about anything, has a lower memory footprint, is faster and it has just about anything UltraEdit has and much, much more.

Although the statement 'you get what you pay for' may hold true in many cases, its no longer the case with everything, especially software.
Take Windows vs Linux (yes I know there are also paid for versions, but there's also the likes of Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora etc)
With software, there are OSS IDEs such as Eclipse, which in my opinion are better then many paid for IDEs
There are OSS text editors such as Notepad++ which do a great job (I can't actually compare it to a paid for text editor, as I've never used one)

I can't recommend SciTE enough.
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

Super fast, as small a footprint as you can get, and the best bit...
The whole program is XML based, so if you don't like anything, just jump into the XML, changed it, and make it work the way you want.

Everything from the automatic PHP code highlighting, right down to the various menu options.
