is there such a thing as a php WYSIWYG editor? something similar to the likes of dreamweaver or frontpage?
i know very little when it comes to php. everythig i've read says if you know html you can learn php, well the only thing i have found that comes even close to what i know about html is the include function, which works similar to the ssi include virtual commad.
my biggest problem is what seems to be jibberish to me when i read the manuals and online tutorials. i get lost in them very easily and have no idea what they are talking about half the time. i feel really stupid that i have been studying this language for the last 2 months and have not been able to grasp the very basics of it.
i run a couple of websites for friends using html with ssi, but they want to move to free hosting, and the best ones i have been able to find do not allow ssi, but they do allow php, so for now, all i've done was convert all the file extension to php and changed the ssi functions into php, which got me really interested in this language, well the message boards did in the first place, smf.
i don't want to create something totally complicated like smf, but i would like to eventually design my websites in php and use sql or another database for them.
any help would do.
