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

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.

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.
There are many. But I select for you five and all is FREEWARE.
You will not loose if you download them and experiment with them to decide by yourslf which will better for you.

Look for PHP Designer by some guy named Michael. It's free and comes with evrything you need: sintax highlighter, tabbed editing, and suff. Try it!

I think it is Michael Pam or Pham + software (that's his corp.)

Thanks for the advice. I actually wasted like 5 hours, before I happened upon this solution by default when looking for a non-existant PHP WYSIWYG editor. I was at download.com when I came across this little app and it got great reviews, so I decided to give it a shot. And what do you know, it worked! Thanks for the advice though. Hey do you know where I can get some cool oscommerce images for free?

Thanks

I know of a great wysiwyg. Its called, DreamWeaver. I have the trial version and I am still getting used to it. It works great. The trouble I have with it is the fact that i know little PHP.

I'll download that once I've got my site's skeleton down, and then I'll start with some "heavy duty" designing. hee hee. So how does it actually work? Is it drag and drop and it just configures the code for you like Frontpage, or do you actually have to write the code and it just shows you what it's going to look like?

I must say PSPad is the way to go for you
It supports many different coding languages and all languages that are supported even have a syntax highlighter.

How about Zend Studio 3.5?

QUOTE

It is the most advanced Integrated Development Environment specifically designed to address the needs of the professional PHP developer to Develop, Debug, Deploy and Manage PHP Applications.

I bought a book on PHP last summer and this was advertised at the back. I get an instant $20 rebate by buying the book but buying the software is a bit expensive for me so I haven't tried it. I rely mostly on Notepad and Macromedia Dreamweaver since both are excellent PHP editors, not WYSIWYG but still excellent.

Here's the website: ZEND
