Good Coding programs

Ive recently download Visual Studio Express Web Developer and C++ and I like the way that you can select all the functinos you write (the entire site) from a drop down menu and you will be taken directly to that function. Lots of other functionality I love too.

I use Dreamweaver to create PHP websites but sometimes I get lost in my own code and have trouble finding functions. Does Dreamweaver have this function list drop down available? I would be great if there is a Visual Express version for PHP or an equivelent program somewhere.

Does anyone know of such a program or know where the drop down function is on Dreamweaver (if it has one)?

Thx

I don't know much about Dreamweaver but I use and love Zend Studio

I've been using PHPEdit recently and it does what you are wanting. It does have a few bugs in it but they have never caused a major issue for me
Another plus is that it is free for personal use.

One place that might be a good read is here as this is how I found phpedit

Zend Studio is awesome and well worth the license fee. Most stuff I write is done in Vim though.
