Smallest IDE for PHP with code-completion? [closed]

Answer 1

Nusphere PHPEd. That's the one I use after horrible Java based alternatives and Zend Studio to name the waterheaded ones :P. It's blazing fast, has built in code completion library, fully customizable syntax highlighting for PHP 4.x, PHP 5.x, PHP 5.3, html, css, smarty, perl, sql, xml, c/c++, python, asp, js and who knows what else.

Highlights:

• Über fast development environment.
• Awesome file manager options (SFTP, SSH, etc.)
• Fully customizable syntax highlighting (light/dark profiles)
• Built in debugger
• Fully customizable editor options (brackets, completion, whatever...)

Answer 2

I use sublimeText or Brackets or Atom. Their are small and do not require hight performance.

Sublime Text 3

Brackets

Atom IDE

Answer 3

I use MacVim and I often have multiple files open in separate tabs.

Vim supports syntax highlighting out of the box and code completion if you use ctags plugins.

Answer 4

Geany is my editor of choice. It's small, cross-platform, (GTK) and supports literally dozens of languages. (including PHP) It has syntax highlighting, code-completion and even custom "build" commands. (such as php -l for sanity checks)
