PHPMac.com has a new article posted today with a look at some of the text editors for the Mac and how they handle PHP.

Recently I have received many emails on errors people receive when either editing the httpd.conf file or indeed, putting together their first PHP script. This article discusses text editors on Mac OS X: the pitfalls, problems and also merits of those available.

He talks about TextEdit, using the Terminal, and, of course, BBEdit - the de-facto standard. Overall, he recommends it as well, despite the $199 USD price tag. He states that it's worth every cent...

Having used some of the editors on my Mac, BBEdit is nice, but the price is enough of a deterrent for me to find something else. There's one called Smultron that integrates nicely with Transmit to open from FTP (one of my main desires in an editor).
