Hi

I looking for a goog editor that can check errors like an unclosed <a> for example. This is because I'd like to validate my code thru w3c and I'm getting some errors and I can't find them on the midle of all that code.

Thanks :)

Well for PHP I would suggest Zend Studio. I'm not exactly in love with it, but there are very little PHP IDE that do the job to an acceptable level.

If you need an actual editor (not IDE) then I would check out jEdit. Once you download some plugins (PHP parser, XML to handle HTML) then it becomes quite powerful.

I'm not sure if it can check for malformed HTML however, especially if you are mixing it with PHP. I think your only option in that case is to run the PHP page and then validate the generated markup.

Thank you for replying ;)

Thanks for these too. :)

I have been meaning to learn some PHP, and new software to try out is always a good incentive to learn something new. ;)

Thanks, Im going to get some information about these!

Chroder, have you tried Activestate Komodo? I think it's a hell of an IDE...

Yeah I tried it shortly after I moved to mac and was setting up my dev environment. I found it quite slow and the code completion wasn't very helpful beyond completing variables or function in the same file. Something I like about Zend is that it looks at the entire project and autocompletes everything.
