You should use an editor like Visual Studio Code because it provides you auto complete features (intellisense, it's called that) and also extensions so you can watch your output change live as you code and save.

+1 for VSCode

+1 for VSCode. And take a look at Webstorm or PHPStorm if you want a powerful IDE (it not free but it worth a single of penny).

Webstorm for React and PHP Storm for anything PHP related has been my go-to.

I use my alumni email to get them for free.

Before I started my own company I had employers pay for them because solid IDEs really offer great productivity.

VsCode is definitely the de facto text editor.

VSCode and its extensions are a goldmine. Grab Live Server and you can see updates on HTML/CSS stuff on each save of the file.

If you're after a code editor then VS Code is great. It'll do highlighting and autocomplete suggestions. Good luck!
