An HTML editor with WYSIWYG and syntax highlight for PHP.

Arachnophilia is a capable HTML and web-code editor which supports not only just HTML, but also several web scripting languages like Perl, PHP, Javascript and others.

Arachnophilia includes support for a lot of what one would expect from most programs in this niche, featuring two different options for views: code or WYSIWYG. The code view is more for advanced users and people working with PHP or other supported languages like C-Sharp, C, C and even LaTeX.

Arachnophilia includes several useful utilities like an HTML tidy tool which indents and beautifies your HTML code as well as a line count. Customizable macros can be used. Arachnophilia can convert RTF and other documents to HTML.

If you browse around the menus while having a document open, you can also discover some pretty useful other tools, too.

Overall, Arachnophilia is a good HTML editor but it is probably more suited towards seasoned webmasters with a background in coding.
