PHP editing ?

Anon

Hi,

I want to edit PHP pages i recieved from
a client.
I work with frontpage2002 on a win98se machine.

how can a view and edit those pages in Windows ? I tried a couple of PHP editors ???
but nothing seems to be easy to install and get it working.

Is there a simple and easy program to install and just work with PHP on windows???

best regards,

No its not just for Linux and Unix geeks like me 🙂 :

Try Emacs with the php mode

Nashirak,

Ouch!!! Frontpage to Emacs......... that's a damn big jump!!!!🙂

GoodLook,

What exactly are you looking for when you say "view and edit those pages in Windows"? Are you looking for an editor which allows you to easily edit the PHP code or are you looking for a graphical editor which will let you edit the resulting pages (sorta like FrontPage)?

If you're just looking for a code editor, the other suggestions are good.... but I'd suggest http://www.editplus.com/. Beautiful syntax highlighting and a bevy of other features.

If you're looking for the FrontPage for PHP, I'm afraid you're sh*te out of luck. PHP is a server-side technology and the html sent to the client is created dynamically each time the page is loaded. You'll need to drop out of FrontPage mode (...... that'd be a good idea all 'round, and not just for PHP) and get your hands dirty with the code.

Like you said PHP is server side so I knew he couldnt use any Frontpage. So text editor is the next choice. SO.. why not go with the best. 🙂 I have friends that use the NT Version of emacs (can be used on Win98) who have no *nix background and no background using emacs, or programming for that matter. It took them about 5 minutes to learn emacs. The NT version has a nice GUI menubar at the top so that you arent stuck C - x C - f , or something. 🙂 It can highlight php as well as html, java, C , lisp, and a host of other languages as well as being an all around good text editor. And for the low low price of 19.95.... 🙂 j/k.
