Maybe I am leaving the decision for a long time: to change to a plain code editor, like Brackets, if not Nova, VSC or other. What happens with the server when we work with php? The pages do not update consistenly. Many times I hace to type `⌘+Y` to delete the cachè or preview the file on another browser that are more fresh to render what I have just saved.

I noticed that the server updates the LAST thing I just edited BUT NOT the previous one! which is really weird. How come DW or the server (Apche in MAMP) can update one thing selectively? Mostly I use the “real” browser to see with more accuracy the results of my code, BUT... soemtimes the live view offer better result.

That confusses me because I don‘t know if the render, the Apache or DW is failing? or i am coidng wrong.

Does this problem happens with all code editors and local servers? Even with Sublime text?

Brackets won't help you.

1. Brackets was not a PHP IDE.

2. Adobe stopped the Brackets project more than 1 year ago. It's no longer in active development.

You need an Integrated Development Environment or IDE that lets you write, compile, execute and debug code all from one convenient place. Below are PHP IDEs you should look at.

PHPStorm by JetBrains

Nothing beats viewing and rendering under real conditions, with real browsers and device (various are preferable).

Here are a few links from our work database here at the studio. I haven't used them all, but see what comes up. :

Temptations. I believed in Brackets. Facing more dificulties in PHP, I guess it‘s time to move on, ebenm when I see that Brackets has a extension for PHP Debugging.

By far and away the most comprehensive editor for php developers is PHP STORM by jetbrains. Not sure how much it is per year these days, I get a good discount for being a subscriber for several years. Check it out if you are thinking of a change of editors for php development.

Since Dreamweaver is minimally maintained now, use it with eyes wide open alongside other coding tools that are in active development. See below for more details.
