PHP scripts should not have to be a pain. Thanks to this great software called Rapid PHP Editor, editing your PHP scripts can now be as easy as pie!

The UI is a little funky, but other than that, I really like it.

Rapid PHP Editor 2004 is a full featured editor for PHP scripts, as well as HTML, XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. It provides features such as Syntax Highlighting, Auto Complete, PHP Syntax Check, PHP function hints, File and FTP explorer, Code Templates and more.

Even though the program is not limited to PHP scripts, it offers several features that make writing PHP more convenient. This includes quick insertion of IF statements, HTML to PHP conversion, one-click access to frequently used PHP functions and more. If you have a local web server and PHP installed, you can also configure the program to execute and preview PHP scripts.
