Now I have become addicted to using php I thought I would be sensible and stop using Dreamweaver to edit my PHP and find a suitable PHP Editor. When I look at my finished site in a browser and save it to edit in dreamweaver there is lots of spare html code flying around so this must be slowing my site down when loading.

There are lots of PHP Editors on the market so I am unsure of which to choose.

I would like something that shows what the code would look like ie built in browser
Something easy to use for a beginner but good enough for an expert
Cheap

Any suggestions?

like you say, there are lots of editors......

When I was on Windows I've always been using EditPlus2.

It's really worth the money if you want to become an expert in almost every code.

I've always loved it's templates ans projects.

you can try it 30 days, www.editplus.com/
but now I know so much about scripts i can even use an online form and create a script there
