I recommend notepad++ also. It is what I use in windows as a multipurpose text editor.

Agree here on both accounts.

Notepad++ all the way, same as everyone else. I've never felt the need to try another text editor since i stumbled upon it a few years ago. also, it can properly read and display unix newlines too, even when running on a windows system(at least the unicode version).

Since nobody has mentioned it, all the php files are just plain text. notepad.exe will do in a pinch. Welcome to the world of interpreted code.

I would like to say the WordPad, that comes with Windows just like the common Notepad.exe, can be also useful. Sometimes Notepad breaks the text formattation.

Notepad ++ helps a lot for syntaxing. When you have an error line in the code, you can easily count down the lines instead of having to manually search for it yourself. It also organizes your line of coding (in which organization = optimal workflow)

notepad++ can also be set to what language you're coding in, showing the individual pieces of statements in much the same way that your favorite ide for other languages does, thus improving the readability of your code. for instance variables are medium blue, function names are plain black, language based commands(such as new, return, for, if, etc) are dark blue, text is light gray, and comments are green. this helps a lot when writing code. also, unlike plain old notepad.exe or wordpad, you have the lines numbered(mentioned before), and you can collapse spans of code such as block comments, functions, and class definitions. notepad++ is, in short, an ide editor, and very, very useful to a coder. yes, php files can be written in notepad.exe and wordpad, but if you use those, don't be surprised if there's more headbanging than if you used notepad++.

edit: @Glarawyn and Kepha: another problem you'll enconter with notepad.exe and wordpad is their handling of newlines. notepad.exe does not display unix newlines properly, and files created with it use windows newlines which are incompatible on unix systems. wordpad can show unix newlines properly, but can be a hassle to make work with unix made code too, at least it has been for me on vista. bottom line, notepad++ for the win.
