Any suggestions of additional software to get in order to set up an reliable fast and easy to use development environment?

if you need an editor, i would recommend PHPEdit, as it makes coding much faster, and pulls up manual reference automatically.

If PHP/MYSQL/Apache, are all working together properly, then that should be all you need.

Thanks for the suggestion

What I am trying to do now is to work with mysql from the mysql client and do things via code.

Since I am new to php and mysql, I was wondering if it's better to work with code rather than a visual program.

code/visual?

code. but an editor that colors the code and helps you format it and brings up references automatically is better than using notepad, so i recommend PHPEdit. DevPHP as a backup if you don't like PHPEdit.

There is a vast list of editors that you could use here

I am currently working with mysql alone and I agree that coding is the better way.

I will make use of those editors you suggested

thanks

I find one i need to make a database i do use phpmyadmin. But somethings i want to make a function for. really PHPmyadmin is only really good if you are always changing your database structure well thats my opinion but code always works good 🙂
