Richard, what you recommend is OK if all you need to do is validate
HTML, but as Mitch will find out if he has not already, a great deal of
PHP written may have nothing to do with HTML output in which case the
HTML validation would be useless.

Mitch is looking for, from what I gather, a tool to help write PHP.
I have personally found a good tool provides, but not limited to the
following.

* Easy formatting of indented and readable code.
* Tool-tips to speed up reuse of variables and function arguments.
* Color coding or different elements of the code such and function,
variables and definitions.
* Track back to function definitions.
* Source level error checking. Example: Find the simple syntax errors
as you go.

To name a few.

Though none of this is required to write PHP, anything to help spend
less time writing, testing and debugging the better.

Notepad just does not provide a practical approach when compared to what
else is available. I have heard some hold it as a badge of honor that
they use a simple text editor to write code, but I doubt they still use
a horse and wagon to get groceries.

Anyhow I personally use PHPEd from nusphere. I have not used the others
in-depth, except for trial but from what I remember, nothing stood out
as NOT a good tool.
