PHP editor for mac

[disto]

hey,
originally i was creating PHP on windows using notepad, simply saving as a txt and then editing the file to a .php, then i started using tsWebEditor.

ive recently started using Mac and wondered if there was a good free editor for php on mac similar to tsWebEditor. if not would texteditor be the best option and then just change the file type later?

help anyone? i did install macs Xcode however this seems a bit confusing, i could find out how to create a php project in it. if someone could tell me how to start coding php in this that would be helpful.

thanks again

What about using JEdit

I believe it has syntax highlighting for PHP and there are also quite a number of plug-ins for editing PHP code, HTML etc.

you can download Jedit from the following website.

I've used SubEthaEdit on Macs quite a few times. It's free for non commerical use (IIRC), easy to use and has a simple UI. I'd recommend in to you in this case.

VIM for OS X (http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php)

It's probably already installed as vim, you may need to download gvim for a nicer GUI. The learning curve can be a bit precipitous but once you get the hang of it it's like a whole way of life :/
