NYCPHP Meetup

[Aaron Fischer]

I do a somewhat similar thing:

On PC I use HTML-Kit, pretty nice for combining the need to do both 
front and back end stuff.  I also prefer Mac but haven't gone the 
virtual pc route yet.  On Mac I use BBEdit, but I've never been able to 
get it to color code php nicely.  Have any BBEdit folks been able to do 
this, am I missing something?
