Php editor ?

Post by Cochise »

A friend of mine asked me for an update of his website.
I've just updated one of its pages editing php code by windows notepad, and it really was a busy task since the code isn't even displayed in column but it's laid out on long rows :o

I agreed to update such a site since I was thinking about html pages.
I was thinking I can quite easily handle text and images with the right software almost like using an advanced word processor...

I don't know if it's the same with php; I lack any suitable software anyway...

Any suggestion?

which i was glad to get my company to pay for after the 30 days were up :D its not expensive.

its also good for other things like html and whatnot.

Notepad++ is free, and supports many languages, including php.

I use it for most of my html editing when I don't need the bloat of a web dev UI like Dreamweaver or Frontpage.

As it's open source, there are lots of plugins available for it also.

you can even have a debugger that works quite well :) otherwise if the lines breaks of the php code don't seem to be there, maybe it's because the stuff has been written on another platform.

Thank you all :)

At now I'm realizing my html/php programming is becoming quite rusty, though.
I should be in the hope to find any software by which edit the existing php pages without directly handling the code...

I've got some troubles aligning image blocks to the right border of a container in XHTML/CSS.

I can get this working in IE only using a further Align command when I call the image, beside the call to the block aligning (float) in the stylesheet. Just can find no way to have this working in Firefox.

Does any experienced programmer here have some time for some suggestion?
