How well does Dreamweaver handle PHP coding

Most of the web work I do is with programming PHP LDAP stuff.  I currently hand code all my web pages.  I am thinking of starting to use something like Dreamweaver to make things like table creation easier.  I was wondering how Dreamweaver works with PHP coding?  Does the program do color highlighting of HTML and PHP code when working directly with code?  Does it do any syntax checking for PHP?

Re: How well does Dreamweaver handle PHP coding

TheRustyCook,
One thing to keep in mind is that most of the editors out there are HTML editors, not PHP editors. I can't really speak for FrontPage (but I hear good things about it) but as far as Dreamweaver handling PHP code, it does at least as well as any other HTML editor out there. But the bottom line is, it's still an HTML editor, and not necessarily a PHP editor.

At the CS3 kickoff meeting, Tom mentioned that there was a pretty good PHP editor out there. I will contact him to see if he can post some more information about it here.

Re: How well does Dreamweaver handle PHP coding
Dreamweaver has great support for PHP. But if you are looking for a IDE to program with I would highly suggest what I use. It is one of the best open source IDE's - it for PHP, JAVA, C, C++ and more.

You can find more information about it here: http://www.eclipse.org
