Hi,
im learning php now and i have to create a website in php. now what i want is, i want a php editor which should be very user freindly. im ready to buy that software. but i need a trial version before buying.

Any help would very appreciated.


George.

why. no one is answering me? Please somebody tell me.

I've never worked with PHP, but if I needed to use PHP, then I would edit it with the text editor that I use for everything else (vim). It has syntax highlighting for many computer languages, including PHP.

You are right darin, text editor is the best i agree. but iam learning php and i have no plan of increasing my skills right now. i must build a website immediately. that's why i asked a user-freindly php editor. and i want a software with which i don't need to write syntax.

George

Various editors will do syntax checking assistance for you, and the PHP interpreter will tell you (not always in the most lucid manner, it's true) when your program has a syntax error. If you want something that will take an informal statement of a desire and convert it into a php program, it's available, but it's called a programmer, and it normally costs money.

I wonder if perhaps you need to use some prebuilt software, such as a blog or CMS system, but then you said you are learning PHP, so I do not believe there is an alternative to learning it.


/rant/ I found myself looking up Cold Fusion the other day - Adobe's proprietary server language. Fine, but the marketingspeak "With Cold Fusion you can write programs without knowing anything about writing programs" is just a marketing lie. It's the MBA syndrome: an MBA gives you the confidence to make decisions about things you don't understand.

Brian,
i just want a php editor as i described in #1. Please understand my position. please some body tell me a name of php editor. and i will take care of the remaining process after you give me a name.

Sorry, if i hurt you

George

Wikipedia has a list of PHP editors. But like other programming editors, they are designed to help those who know how to program, not to do the job automatically for those who don't.

You don't hurt me at all, but I don't really understand the point of asking here if you are not looking for advice. Just type "PHP editor" into google and choose the most expensive.

hey, thanks for that tip. i really appreciate you.
