GPL WYSIWYG Editor with .php support?

I'm looking for something along the lines of Dreamweaver in a GPL fashion. NvU doesn't work because it doesn't support php. Any ideas?

I know this is probably going to be a lost cause. I've searched Google several times without finding anything worthwhile.

I've installed and am running GIMP now (instead of Adobe PSE), Gaim too (instead of MSM or Trillian), I've always used Firefox with the FireFTP extension and Thunderbird, and have even used Sunbird. I just can't find anything to lessen my dependence on Dreamweaver for php editing. It's frustrating.

(And I can't go back to coding it all by hand in a text editor either. I learned HTML that way and built pages like that for a long time, but once you go WYSIWYG, YDGB. (you don't go back).)

 

You just want something that marks up PHP code? Because otherwise, the only way I know of to test PHP is to run it. Editors like Kate will highlight the syntax of PHP, and will even edit files remotely, yet seamlessly if you install the KIOSlaves. KDE specific, but it's neat stuff, and you can just test by using your web browser.

And yes, I have tried WYSIWYG editors, and I did go back. They screw up way too much code to be useful. They're alright for setting up image maps and such, but other than that, they just get in the way of good, clean, scalable design (you do test on at least 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions, right?). CSS and JavaScript and so are the new hotness, and though complex at time, they're a very good thing overall.

 

Yes, something that marks up .php code. In order to view it, I upload it and look at it online. That's easier to me than setting up a virtual Apache server.

Dreamweaver doesn't screw up the code so much as NvU does. And, yes, I do test on 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. Until I got my nw9440 at the beginning of the month, I ran a Sony Vaio at 1024x768. And my site stats tell me that there are still a few people out there that run 800x600 too, so I cater to the smaller resolutions. (Although, I can't wait until at least 1024x768 becomes the "standard" instead of 800x600, the way 800x600 took over 640x480.)

I'm also doing this in WindowsXP. I know this is in the Linux forum, but that's the best place I could think to put it since it's a call for open source software.

 

Like I said, if you just want correct code highlighting in PHP, look into using Kate (which is KDE specific and has the benefit of being able to open files directly on the server through SSH or FTP), or Anjuta or something similar. There are a ton of code editors out for Linux, many of which with PHP syntax sets. Use a real development tool for real development Since you're testing on the server, you don't need something like Dreamweaver.
