Hi,

I'm looking for any easy way to edit a php page. I'm really new to this programming language, and I don't have a lot of time, so I'd prefer if I could find a WYSIWYG PHP editor.

Do you guys know of any.

Thanks.

There are a bunch of editors out there, but a really good one is Microsoft Notepad. No kidding. It's simple, easy to use, and it should come with your computer. It's not wysiwyg, but it good. I don't think there are any WYSIWYG PHP editors out there because PHP is a scripting language and a server-side scripting language at that. That means that you have to upload your PHP scripts/code to the server and execute it there.

I tried to use notepad to edit my index.php page for oscommerce, and it ruined the script. So can I edit it, and still have a working page.

Thanks

We have to distinguish between two types of tools that developers can opt for - an editor, or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
If you want to code fundamental PHP applications, any standard text editor such as Notepad, would do. But, for the same reason most of us prefer creating documents with a word processor over Notepad, Professional PHP developers always prefer an IDE over a simple editor.
