ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

In true Linux fashion however, emacs, vi and vim are all about as easy to learn as multivariable calculus, however justabout as powerful - if not more so come to think of it.
Just use a pretty gui based editor instead - one that emulates windows programs such as Quanta.
Then if you get real excited you can download something like NetBeans and start on the wonderful world of toaster programming with Java - the world's most versatile sluggish complicated unfriendly unintuitive repetative language.
repetative language. One which despite those who seem to love it I always hear them cry from their office when they cannot make it work....
Stick to PHP and pretty graphic GUI editors like me. Yay for Quanta!!! Then you'll not only enjoy what you do, you'll get a result and can even go out in the evenings and enjoy a beer with your friends.
PhPEdit is a waste of cycles. I (Once upon a time) stepped out
of the emacs/vi battle and found Pico and Nano to be a great
ally to a coder that doesn't care for frilly gui's or overcomplicated
editors with no real bennys.
Give it a shot.

Kate is also very nice for PHP IMHO as it'll do handy things like roll up structures (loops, ifs etc) which can make things easier to follow on large scripts.
